If you don't find a suitable gcc/g++ for the T3D, you can solve your
template problem as follows:

Look at the generic container class library of GNU's
(~gnu/lib/g++-include/gen)

That was designed when real C++-templates were not available yet.
To generate real classes from that kind of container templates there is a
tool 'genclass' (shell script) available. This does its work for function
templates too.

So use the same syntax in your code. (The syntax of existing template code
could easily be adapted via simple perl or sed script.) Then use the
genclass tool to generate your classes.
