compiling a generic function in which i pass a
function to mytransform algorithm which in turn uses 
another template called square_it.

g++ -O -c ch8.cpp
ch8.cpp: In function `int main()':
ch8.cpp:19: Internal compiler error.
ch8.cpp:19: Please submit a full bug report to `egcs-bugs@egcs.cygnus.com'.
ch8.cpp:19: See <URL: http://egcs.cygnus.com/faq.html#bugreport > for details.
make: *** [ch8.o] Error 1
>How-To-Repeat:
basically, ch8.cpp looks like this:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

#include "myalgos.cpp"

using std::cout;
using std::endl;
using std::vector;

int main()
{
  vector<float> vi, v2;
  for (float i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    vi.push_back(i);
  mytransform(vi.begin(), vi.end(), back_inserter(v2), square_it);
  for (vector<float>::iterator i = v2.begin(); i != v2.end(); i++)
    cout << *i << endl;
}
>Fix:
Work-around for me was to make square_it a float and be done
with it.

The only reason I'm reporting this is because the error told me
to :-).
