Hmm, but the warning reported was

  /d2a/exper/include/g++/std/bastring.h:76: warning: inline function
  `static void basic_string<unsigned char,string_char_traits<unsigned
  char>,__default_alloc_template<false,0> >::Rep::operator delete(void *)'
  called before definition

which doesn't appear to be platform related.

However, you are right: I did my original tests on sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1,
which worked fine, while on sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3_U1 indeed I still get

  ld: Undefined symbol 
     basic_string<unsigned char, string_char_traits<unsigned char>,
  __default_alloc_template<0, 0> >::nilRep

for egcs-current-CVS.

Contritely,
Gerald
