I hate to send you in a circle, but I do not think this is a problem with
  gcc; more likely it is a problem with pvmpovray.

gcc 2.8.1 is obsolete, and has many known bugs.

If you can manage it, upgrade to gcc-2.95.2 , from
  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-2.95.2.tar.gz

Be sure to read README, install/CONFIGURE, install/BUILD,
  install/SPECIFIC, and the other install instructions carefully.

The only <features.h> I know of comes with glibc (the gnu c library) . 
I do not know if this is the <features.h> that povray requires.

$find gcc-2.95.2 -name 'features.h' -print
$

I really do not think <features.h> comes with gcc.
