Well, you could make them static but that changes the meaning of the program.  
The original was a valid (if unusual) design and should be accepted by the 
compiler.

The compiler is not maintained by FreeBSD, so C++ bugs should be reported to
the egcs web page.  But I suspect they'll say "fixed in egcs 3.x" so there's
probably not much that can be done for FreeBSD 4 other than install and use the
gcc33 port for your application (and all the libraries linked with it!)
