>Description:
The attached file compiles fine if no debug info is 
requested or if DWARF-2 debug info is requested.
However, compilation with -gdwarf+, -gdwarf+1, gdwarf+2 
or -gdwarf+3 switch results in ICE:

../IGusarov/Lists.h:821: Internal compiler error in dwarfout_finish, at
   dwarfout.c:6532
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/bugs.html> for instructions.

It looks like generating this debug info requires some 
more templated types (which were a member 'typedefs' in 
another templated type) to be instantiated and these
freshly instantiated types are left in pending_types_list
which violates the final assertion in dwarfout_finish
and thus lead to abort()...
>How-To-Repeat:
unpack an archived "TemplateElements_.i" file and run
g++ -c -gdwarf+3 TemplateElements_.i
>Fix:
Don't use dwarf-1 debug format. In fact, I've
toyed with various debug info formats and found that
4 out of approx. 120 source files in my current project 
fails with the same ICE if compiled with one of 
-gdwarf+[123]
