g++-1.35.0 from Labrea
libg++-1.35.0 also from Labrea

When compiling the files in the tests directory I run into one problem.
tRational.cc gets the following error:

(cd src; make GXX="g++" CC="gcc")
(cd tests;      make GXX="g++" LIBDIR="/usr/local/gnu/lib")
g++ -g -O -fchar-charconst -I../g++-include -I. -fstrength-reduce  -c  tRational
.cc
In function void etest (long int):
tRational.cc:168: call of overloaded `log' is ambiguous
tRational.cc:169: call of overloaded `log' is ambiguous
*** Error code 1


The code in question:

void etest(long n)
{
  cout << "approximating e as pow(1+1/n),n) for n =" << n << "\n";
  Rational approxe = estimate_e(n);
  assert(approxe.OK());
  cout << "double(approxe) = " << double(approxe) << "\n";
  cout << "log(approxe) = " << log(approxe) << "\n";
  assert(log(approxe) <= 1.0);
  cout << "approxe = " << approxe << "\n";
}
