I see this error message:

/Users/regress/tbox/cvs-gcc/gcc/libstdc++-v3/src/debug.cc:499: error: expected nested-name-specifier

and line 499 is the one with 'template<typename _T>'.

It looks like _T was a poor choice of name, because in
/usr/include/ctype.h there is:

#define    _T              _CTYPE_T                /* Special */
