    Brief Description of Problem:
    -----------------------------

Steve is using C++ V5.5-004 and is having a problem with the -tlocal method for 
instantiation (he's also compiling with -thread, but I'm guessing that doesn't 
matter).

He's using auto instantiation (at compile time).

The C++ compiler complains that it can't find definition.  The error message is 
something like this:

cxx error:  <long-path-name>
function <fcn-name> has internal linkage, occurs in a context that requires its
definition and it has no definition


There are several notes in the C++ notes file that sound somewhat like this, but 
I'm not able to find a common thread.  I asked Steve to send a small reproducer.
