I don't know about your problem with templates, but I'd like to alert
you to another problem in your installation that could get you further
down the line: the long file names problem.

Those pesky numeric tails (like in `g__~1 and 121-P4~1.cpp) mean that
either you run on on Windows 9X but you have disabled long file name
support, or you run on Windows NT and you have unpacked the
distribution with WinZip or some other program which preserved long
file names.

In either case, this means that the compiler will have trouble finding
headers and libraries which have long file names, like streambuf.h and
libstdcxx.a.

So, if you run on Windows 9X, set LFN=y in the environment, and if you
run on NT, delete the entire DJGPP installation and install again,
this time using a DOS unzip program.
