	I am not sure what you mean by "these testcase failures can be
fixed with the current AIX 5L."  G++ instantiates template static members
using COMDAT which requires weak support.  The fact that you can
instantiate them on AIX does not mean that those static members should be
instantiated in the testcases on system without weak symbol support.
