--- Comment #4 from Jason Merrill <jason at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-01-12 15:25:55 UTC --- (In reply to comment #2) > error: /tmp/ccZEKdVj.o: multiple definition of > '_ZNSt16allocator_traitsISaIiEE18__construct_helperIiJiEE5valueE' That symbol is an extra-name alias for std::allocator_traits<std::allocator<int> >::__construct_helper<int, int>::value created by mangle_decl for forward ABI compatibility. But I can't reproduce the bug; that variable isn't emitted at all when I compile the reduced testcase with r183124.
