How old is your Debian system?  They switched to gcc 3.2 in January last
year, so there so be sufficient support to use at least that version of gcc
by now....

You will not be able to build POV-Ray 3.6 with gcc 2.x as those versions of
gcc are far too far behind the ISO C++ standard (and far too buggy and
outdated in general) to accept the POV-Ray 3.6 source code at all.
