I was able to reproduce the problem on 

i486-pc-linux-gnulibc1

on a mixed Slackware / Debian Linux 1.3 system.

I checked
gcc version egcs-2.91.57 19980901 (egcs-1.1 release)
gcc version egcs-2.91.55 19980824 (gcc2 ss-980609 experimental)

which both failed with the original error message,

bug.cc:82: sorry, not implemented: testing (null) for template parms
bug.cc: In method `Field::Field(const class string &, int = 0)':
bug.cc:82: confused by earlier errors, bailing out

but 
gcc version egcs-2.90.29 980515 (egcs-1.0.3 release)

compiles the source without a problem. I checked with and without optimization.
