Linux IA32 RH6.2-
>Description:
mangle.c outputs *INTERNAL* into assembler file weak sections, when handling weak defined template constructors and destructors in line 2199 (3.04) - write_string(" *INTERNAL* "); Only con- and destructors are affected. With no support for the export keyword this flaw is fatal when building libraries which uses common templates defined in headers.
>How-To-Repeat:
Make a derivative of UX2ListNode in a c++ file, and try to compile it. Now examine the assembler output - The weak sections at the end of it will contain: 
.weak "mangled constructorname" *INTERNAL* 
.weak "mangled destructorname" *INTERNAL* 
>Fix:
The comment above line 2199 in mangle.c states that the "*INTERNAL*" information should not be placed in the resulting assembler code, but it manages to end up in the asm code somehow. A quick fix is to change *INTERNAL* to #*INTERNAL* - The "not suppossed to be there statement" will now appear as comment to the assembler - not actually a fix to the problem, but a working for the moment solution.
