This is a weird link error, but the "missing" destructor is inline.

It seems to be a build problem specific to the HP-UX_ia64_aCC test
site. The relevant change was introduced in revision 48634. This
revision has been tested, and has not caused any problems, on any
other test sites.

I'm noticing that the HP-UX_ia64_aCC test is incremental. I have seen
similar failures before which were "fixed" by a non-incremental build.

Rather than panicking, I suggest trying a non-incremental build for a
single failing test, to verify this theory, and if it works out,
investigating why the error occurred in the first place.
