Weak symbols under AIX 5.1?

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Perhaps then the lack of weak symbols is not the issue.  A further
investigation reveals that instantiating the same template instance
static member multiple times in different compilation units doesn't
cause any problems for the AIX linker.  I'll dig deeper but I suspect
these testcase failures can be fixed with the current AIX 5L.
