It appears as though explicit manual template instantiation is the only way to use templates too. :( Maybe the "do nothing" method described in the docs now assumes an ELF system? I'll have to look at the configuration options. I found a blurb on dejanews suggesting that NetBSD needs a new gas for exceptions to work, but if you configure it for setjmp/longjmp (which involves a runtime overhead), they will work. I don't mind the overhead if it is just a temporary state of affairs.... -john
