I believe Jason's following change fixes it. It worked for a simple test
case that I tried, but beware that I haven't tested for regressions at
all. 

Also, I may be completely off the base here, but wasn't there something
about MIPS port not liking this change (and hence Jason's Oct 13 change 
to mips/iris6.h and varasm.c)?

1998-09-03  Jason Merrill  <jason@yorick.cygnus.com>

        * decl2.c (import_export_vtable): Always make artificials comdat.
        (import_export_decl): Likewise.
        * pt.c (mark_decl_instantiated): Likewise.

If Jason thinks this is ok, I'll go ahead and check for regressions and
such ...
