Hmm...  I upgraded egcs, and with a more recent version than yours
still experience the problem:

% ec++ -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/egcs/lib/gcc-lib/i386-netbsd/egcs-2.91.52/specs
gcc version egcs-2.91.52 19980803 (gcc2 ss-980609 experimental)
% ec++ ttinterr.C 
ttinterr.C: In method `int foo<long int>::pub<int>(int)':
ttinterr.C:20:   instantiated from here
ttinterr.C:11: Internal compiler error.
ttinterr.C:11: Please submit a full bug report to `egcs-bugs@cygnus.com'.

I notice you are running linux while the two of us who have
experienced the problem are running some variant of BSD.  Could this
be an a.out format specific bug?  (Sounds unlikely, given the the
problem is probably with templates.)

I guess I will grab the very lates head of the 1.1 branch, and try
this on a linux box myself.  (Also, maybe the bug was temporarily
fixed.  I have run accross at least one other bug that was temporarily
fixed and then broke again.)
