Debugging information with templates isn't supported in GCC 2.5.7.  You can
request to be warned about (the lack of) template debugging by using
-Wtemplate-debugging, which I believe you also get with '-Wall'.  This
should give you a somewhat friendlier error/warning than the screensful of
errors you get from the assembler, as it will cause GCC to flag it...
