Andreas,
	the compiler does not generate operator==, but that's the expected
behavior.  The problem is that your compiler is trying to instantiate
list::remove, which requires an operator==.  But that's wrong, since
list::remove is not being used and hence should not be instantiated.

Maybe. Looking at your command line:

a likely candidate would be -template=wholeclass. I don't have a Solaris
box available to check it, but if it tells the compiler to instantiate
all methods in a template class instead of just the ones that are used,
then it would cause the error above.  May you have a look at your
compiler documentation and check whether the above works as I guessed
(and if so, how can you specify the correct behavior instead?)
