Using the DEC v6.1 compiler (with some modifications
because IOstream is out of std namespace),
I failed with distribution 11 (see end of mail).
Maybe it's a problem of incomplete template instanciation?
Any tips?

I tried again with last snapshot, it fails.
I also get binutils to have the gnu ld
but it fails on an as option.
I can send you (or cygnus) the trace, I feel like
a get-the-next-gnu-tool-to-go-further problem...
