Hm, at least avr and h8300-hms linker are supporting weak symbols. 

And the summary is wrong now. Maybe my example wasn't that good.

The error has nothing to do with implicit template instantiaton.
Implicit template instantiation only works for function templates and 
means that a function template can be implicitly instatiated by the 
parameters of the function.

E.g.

-------------------------------------------
template<class T>
void func(T t){
  /*
    do stuff
   */
}

.. 

int i=123
func(i); \\ <- implicit template instatiation with an iteger type

..

-------------------------------------------
