Description of problem:
link error with -frepo

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.1.2 20070925 (Red Hat 4.1.2-33)

How reproducible:
[11:57:09 pal@localhost ~/tmp/1]$ cat a.cpp
template < class T > class A {
public:
        static const T a [ 1 ];
};

template < class T > const T A < T > :: a [ 1 ] = { 'a' };

int main ( ) {
        char a = A < char > :: a [ 0 ];
}
[11:58:20 pal@localhost ~/tmp/1]$ g++ -o a a.cpp
[11:58:27 pal@localhost ~/tmp/1]$ g++ -c a.cpp -frepo
[11:58:33 pal@localhost ~/tmp/1]$ LC_ALL=C g++ -o a a.o -frepo
a.o: In function `main':
a.cpp:(.text+0x7): undefined reference to `A<char>::a'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


Actual results:
no error without -frepo, error with - frepo

Expected results:
no errors in both cases
