Machine:	sparc
Version:	gcc version 2.3.1
OS:		SunOS Release 4.1.2
problem:	If more than one  use of a function, which is defined
		with a template, occurs in a file, the assembler claims
		that the function is defined more than once.

sample code:
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// start
int *packAddress(void);
void packDone(int);
#define intsIn(T)	((sizeof(T)+(sizeof(T)-1))/sizeof(int))

int i;
double d;
int j;

template<class T>
void
pack(T& data)
{
	T *p = (T *)packAddress();

	*p = data;
	packDone(intsIn(T));
}

foo()
{
	pack(i);
	pack(d);
	pack(j);
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// end

p.s. Am I sending these reports to the correct place?
