Link warning using gcc, g++ on OSF/1 v3.2

I am running the following version of OSF/1:
        DEC OSF/1 V3.2 Worksystem Software (Rev. 214)
        DEC OSF/1 V3.2A (Rev. 17); Tue Mar 28 12:40:27 MST 1995

I installed gcc on my OSF/1 V2.1 system and it worked great. However, I
compiled and installed it on my machine with OSF/1 V3.2 and get the
following linker warning when compiling:

gcc foo.c -o foo
/usr/bin/ld:
Warning: Linking some objects which contain exception information sections
        and some which do not. This may cause fatal runtime exception handling
        problems (last obj encountered without exceptions was
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/alpha-dec-osf3.2/2.6.3/libgcc.a).

The code for gcc and g++ appears to work fine but this error concerns me.
Has anyone else ran into this problem and have you found a solution. It
looks to me like gcc produces object code that doesn't contain "exception
informaton" (whatever that means) but libgcc.a was built using the standard
cc compiler and therefore contains the "exception information". I made
gcc and g++ going through all of the proper stages of compile but it made no
difference.
