   Michael,

   I have brought up the new beta release of g++ (Oct 2 version).

   I am having trouble with some of my (and other peoples) code that uses
   `static const foo = 5' constructs in .h files.  In previous versions,
   this worked fine.  Now, I get `Undefined symbol _foo ...' at ld-time.

   Is this a bug in the latest version of g++, or a correct implementation?

   Thanks,

It was a screw-up.  Here is a fix:
