Patch for memory blowup

I believe I have a patch (attached) for the memory explosions that
occur when using g++ -O2 -Wall with lots of templates. See for
example:
http://www.cygnus.com/ml/egcs/1997-Oct/0300.html
This is also mentioned in the FAQ.
The diffs below look longer than they are due to an indentation change
that happened when a set of curly braces went away. Fred's program:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector.h>
int main()
{
vector<int> int_vec(size_t(5), int(1));
vector<vector<int> > int_vec_vec(size_t(7), int_vec);
vector<vector<vector<int> > > int_vec_vec_vec(size_t(9), int_vec_vec);
cout << int_vec_vec_vec[3][3][3] << endl;
cout << "wow" << endl;
}
which used to use >200M now compiles as gently as without -Wall. And,
the .s file generated (I checked -O3 -Wall, actually) is precisely the
same as without -Wall.
