I get errors in compiling libg++-1.36.0 on a decstation (dec-3100).
This could be due to a mis-compilation of G++ on the machine, but it's
peculiar that only this file would induce vomiting.  Any ideas on what
might be wrong?  The G++ (g++-1.36.2) seems to successfully compile
several thousand lines of my code, as well as genclass'ed code.
