I extracted the sources out of your example and tried with my 
slightly-patched version of gcc-2.6.3.  I had no problems.  (It's this 
same patch that allows gcc-2.6.3 to successfully compile libg++-2.6.2 on 
NetBSD.)  Perhaps it could be included in the binary package?

[forwarded message follows]

This patch fixes the multiply defined template functions bug
which was introduced in 2.6.1.
