Unfortunately, I had no chance to follow the discussion on this topic,
because I was off for three weeks and most of the postings in
gnu.g++.bug were expired.

Environment: SPARCstation 1, SunOS 4.1.1, gcc-2.3.3, binutils-2.0, libg++-2.3

I've just installed gcc 2.3.3 and tried a simple test program (see
below).  It compiled well but the assembler complained with an
``error: redefinition of symbol "_Max".''

Here is the output of the compiler call:

% g++ -v test.C

/usr/gnu/new/bin/gcc: /usr/tmp/cca114421.o: No such file or directory

And here is the test program:

#include <iostream.h>

template <class T>
T Max (T a, T b) {
    return (a < b) ? b : a;
}

main () {
    int a = 10, b = 9;
    float c = 100., d = 200.;
    cout << Max (a, b) << endl;
    cout << Max (c, d) << endl;
    return 0;
}
