I have committed this patch since it does fix the problem demonstrated
in your test program.  However, I still have collect2 problems.

//cpp.1
#include <list.h>

list<int> my_list01;

---------------------------

//cpp.2
#include <list.h>

int main()
{
list<int> my_list02;
return 0;
}

------------------------------

If I compile these files using b19:
	
	g++ -c -frepo -fno-implicit-templates 1.cpp 2.cpp
	g++ -frepo 1.o 2.o

the compile fails.  This happens in the same way regardless of the
behavior of freopen.

Also I just noticed that my g++ et al aren't being installed correctly
because they aren't getting a .exe suffix appended during build time.
I'll have to fix the makefiles...
