Thanks for your info. Is there any way to resolve this ambiguity? If I
understand the Stroustrup correctly, the < has to be interpreted as
the start of template-arguments if the identifier before it is a
template-name.

Should I file a bug to gcc or do I have to rewrite the program? Right
now we have to use the Intel "icc" to get our project working and I'd
very much like to change that...
