I worked around the problem by commenting out the "template" qualifiers in
the "function_base.hpp", "function.hpp", and "function_traits.hpp" (separate
copy) headers.  After that, "allocator_test.cpp" and "policy_test.cpp"
worked perfectly.  The "function_test_fail1.cpp" and
"function_test_fail2.cpp" files choked at the right places at compile-time,
the comparison and cross-assignment, respectively, with an illegal-operand
error.  Unfortunately, the "function_test.cpp" file failed.  I got a few
warnings about missing prototypes, but the main problem was that every (39)
cross-assignment failed with an illegal-operand error.  Only assignments to
objects of the exact same function-wrapper type were accepted.
