I've never seen that, but this message: 
http://markmail.org/message/u7bube4nziebcaiy#query:multiple%20definition%20of%20typeinfo%20name%20for%20std%3A%3Aruntime_error+page:1+mid:u7bube4nziebcaiy+state:results 
seems to indicate that this may be a known problem with some Cygwin/Mingw32 
versions.  What g++ version are you using?  Is it a recent release?

The warning:

#warning "Unknown compiler version - please run the configure tests and
report the results"

suggests you're using a bleeding edge or unreleased g++ version maybe?

HTH, John.
