Floating Point Exception on every app

[Dan_GTech]

So I'm a n00b, fine. I can get around kinda. I'm working on code in exploit-db, all of which is testing, and runs, and exploits fine in one VM, but in my Linux Kernel 2.4 RH 9 distro, every app I compile (gcc -o myfile myfile.c) which, again, works fine in VM1, fails with 'Floating Point Exception'. Is there a flag I'm missing? A mode I'm supposed to start first? Does one terminal type do this and not another? I know it's not the code, and they are both x86 VMs, and yes I even tried an x64 compile to check, and get the usual 'cannot execute binary' message. It feels like I'm missing a small detail somewhere, but as a n00b, I just don't know what to look for, and googling for Floating Point Error is just too wide.

Both are VMs on the same hothe host, with i686 arch. It seems the first link is eliminated, or are there exceptions to this?

I'll try -msse2 option tonight.
