Sigh.  This is a bug in the nextstep headers.

They're using the old (and incorrect) method for trying to describe
a "pure" function by prefixing the function's return type with a
"const".

This is wrong because the "const" really applies to the return type,
not the function itself.

The right way to describe a "pure" function is to use an attribute,
but that only works with newer versions of gcc.

Anyway, enough background...

This is something we usually address with fixincludes; I'll see
what I can do if you send me a copy of /NextDeveloper/Headers/ansi/math.h
