It's easy, although a little hidden:

Go to your djgpp directory and than to lib/gcc-lib/djgpp/ and the subdirectory 
there that corresponds your c++ library (e.g. "2.81" or "egcs-291.66"). Here 
you will find yet another subdirectory called "include". This contains a file 
"math.h". Take it and replace your old math.h in djgpp/include.
Now everything should compile fine.

You can also find this in the FAQ (section 8.19 "C++ exceptions support").
