Bug#373895: g++-4.1: "multiple definition" linker errors with code that used to work

[Brian Nelson <pyro@debian.org>]

Package: g++-4.1
Version: 4.1.1-5
Severity: important

While linking code that uses boost date_time headers, I get lots of
errors like:

foo.o: (.data+0x0): multiple definition of `_ZN5boost9date_time18parse_match_resultIT_E11PARSE_ERRORE'
bar.o:(.data+0x0): first defined here

That's from boost/date_time/string_parse_tree.hpp, and the relevant code
looks like:

  template<typename charT>
  struct parse_match_result
  {
[...]
    static const short PARSE_ERROR;
  };
  template<typename charT>
  const short parse_match_result<charT>::PARSE_ERROR = -1;


Reverting to 4.1.1-2 fixes this problem.  I'm guessing it's a consequence
of the patch for PR c++/26068.
