I am seeing the same thing here with gcc 2.7.2.2. We need to adopt
a considered policy about whether libpq++ will still support gcc 2.7.*,
not just break it without thinking.
I'd vote for still supporting 2.7.*, but I know that the C++ library
shipped with this gcc release is not real up-to-date. It may not be
practical to support both latest-C++-spec compilers and the older
generation; I'm not sure what the issues are.
If the conclusion is "no", then the configure script ought to be
changed to not try to build libpq++ unless up-to-date libraries
are available.
