iostream compilation error: declaration of 'void* operator new [](size_t) throw (std::bad_alloc)' has a different exception specifier

I'm trying to build GRASS GIS 7.0.3 for various Fedora/EPEL versions using Fedora's COPR (chroot based compile environment).

The following error appears:

It happens both on i386/i686 and x86_64.
