Just out of interest, what's wrong with gcc that makes it unable to
compile the templates?  Are you sure it's not a problem with the
sources?  C++ is a moving target, and it's quite possible that gcc is
correct in not compiling them.  If not, I'm sure the gcc people would
like to know how it breaks.
