Now that would be brilliant! Unfortunately, there is no '-mbnu210' switch in my gcc 
2.95.2, and I can't find any reference to it on the web. I checked my objects, but there's no 
.linkonce section and no weak symbols.


I think multiple template instances are a big source of code bloat in my case, so I'd love to 
see .linkonce and weak symbols working OK. 


What's the deal with this mysterious -mbnu210 switch?


Thanks!
