I did a modification to the compiler toolset which fixes this. The
(undocumented) macro __CNAME_OVERLOADS needs to be defined to get all the 
overloads required by the standard.

This one was due to the fact that during the regression test runs a wrong 
version of the shared C++ standard library was used. This is due to the 
fact that several compiler versions are installed side-by-side on the 
machine. I changed my local toolset to link with the static version of this 
library.

All math tests are now passing on Tru64 with this toolset.
