illegal assembly code generated by egcs-1.0.1 on AIX 3.2

[Mark Johnstone]

Hello,

When compiling the following files, a control character incorrectly
gets put into the asserbler (.s) file generated by egcs 1.0.1:

test.h:

#include<iostream.h>

struct test_box
    {
    void print(void) {cout << "this is a test" << endl;}
    };

void test<class BOX> (test_box *);


test.C:

#include "test.h"

template <class BOX> void test(BOX *the_box)
    {
    the_box->print();
    };

template void test<> (test_box *);


main.C:

#include "test.h"

main()
    {
    test_box box1;
    test(&box1);
    }


Here is what happens when I compile:

donatello:~/tmp> g++ -c -fno-implicit-templates test.C
donatello:~/tmp> g++ -v -fno-implicit-templates test.o main.C
