gcc bug and a dirty hack for std_bitset.h

[Levente Farkas <lfarkas at mindmaker dot hu>]

hi,
let's look into the standard c++ header file std_bitset.h and the 
specialized _Base_bitset<1>'s _M_do_find_first (the _M_do_find_next 
totaly the same) function's definition (not declaration):
----------------------------
size_t _Base_bitset<1>::_M_do_find_first(size_t __not_found) const
----------------------------
it should have be (according to the standard specification):
----------------------------
template<>
size_t _Base_bitset<1>::_M_do_find_first(size_t __not_found) const
----------------------------
but gcc gives in this case:
----------------------------
/usr/include/g++-v3/bits/std_bitset.h:380: template-id `_M_do_find_first<>' for
`std::_Base_bitset<1>::_M_do_find_first (unsigned int) const' does not match any
 template declaration
/usr/include/g++-v3/bits/std_bitset.h:380: syntax error before `{'
/usr/include/g++-v3/bits/std_bitset.h:385: `_WordT' was not declared in this sco
pe
/usr/include/g++-v3/bits/std_bitset.h:385: parse error before `;'
/usr/include/g++-v3/bits/std_bitset.h:385: syntax error before `++'
/usr/include/g++-v3/bits/std_bitset.h:391: syntax error before `>='
/usr/include/g++-v3/bits/std_bitset.h:399: syntax error before `::'
----------------------------
but in the current case we define non-inline, non-template member function
in header function which of cource gives multiple definition:
----------------------------
libx.a(y.o): In function `std::_Base_bitset<1>::_M_do_find_first(unsigned int)
const':
FlowBookmark.o(.text+0x2b8): multiple definition of `std::_Base_bitset<1>::_M_do
_find_first(unsigned int) const'
----------------------------
so here is my dirty patch (insert an inline before the definition) for 
std_bitset.h (which include the other bitset patch which I send earlier today).
of cource the right solution would fix it in gcc:-)
yours.
