I'm concerned about the time involved to get it up and running just to
realize that there are either the same or different issues.


> Is your template code related to STL, or fully custom? Do you know what

Custom - nothing fancy just some very basic template usage. In one case I
had to explicitely instantiate a template to make it compile and in another
case no mojo worked to get it to compile with gcc >= 2.96. Also gcc >= 3.0
now warns about multi-line literals being deprecated and I couldn't find a
way to turn off that warning - the code in question isn't even compiled
(#ifdef'ed out for another platform) and apparently the warning in this case
is by design... sigh.

2.95.3 (couldn't use 2.95.2 due to glibc incompatibilities) compiled the
code fine except one occurance I solved by using explicit instantiation.

Yes but 2.95.x doesn't support 2 byte Unicode :)

Yup.
