egcs C++ compatibility problem

[Bernhard Rosenkraenzer]

Hello,
there's a C++ compatibility problem with egcs.
While trying to compile the QwSpriteField from the KDE support libraries:

/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I..
-I/usr/src/qt-1.32/include  -g0 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -Vegcs-2.91.06
-pipe -s -c QwSpriteField.cpp
g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/src/qt-1.32/include -g0 -O2
-fomit-frame-pointer -Vegcs-2.91.06 -pipe -s -c -fPIC -DPIC
QwSpriteField.cpp
QwSpriteField.cpp:26: `remove<>' does not match any template declaration
QwSpriteField.cpp:26: no matching template for
`remove(QwSpriteFieldGraphic *, QwPublicList<QwSpriteFieldGraphic *> *&)'
found
make: *** [QwSpriteField.lo] Error 1

gcc 2.8.0 works fine.

egcs is correct in finding the bug. Late egcs snapshots check the type of
the return value better than gcc280 or older egcs versions.
Add the * which was forgotten in the declaration of remove <> to make it
work. (I don't have the KDE source on my computer right now, that's just
what I remeber. I can look for it, if you're not able to fix it with this
description.)
