If you're on linux, try compiling with eg. "make | head".

Sorta OT, but I think the error message orgy itself should be treated as a bug.
If the compiler fails to instantiate a template, it continues to compile the
entire program but fails with _every_ template. This leads to tons of unrelated
and bogus error messages like "template instance cannot resolve forward
reference".
