Compiler error 980715

[Karl JH Millar]

I get a compiler error compiling the following

/**************************************/
template<class TYPE>
void foo() {
  ;
}

void print(void (*func)());

main() {
  print(foo<int>);
}
/**************************************/

I am using gcc version egcs-2.91.57 19980901 (egcs-1.1 release) on a GNU/Linux
system, running the 2.1.125 version of the kernel.

Here is the output of gcc -c -v bug.cc

Unfortunately I don't have the details of the options I compiled egcs with,
but I don't think there was anything unusual.
Let me know if you need any more info
