Note that if you go to cygnus's web site (ftp.cygnus.com/pub/g++), and
grab the template repository patch (gcc-2.7.2-repo), and use it to
recompile gcc, you can "fix" the problem.

After the patch gcc will when invoked with the -frepo flag, during
compilation, store information about all the template signatures in a
given source file in a corresponding .rpo file.  Then it will use this
information during the link step to generate one copy of the needed
templates in each resulting object library, etc.
