As far as I understood from the Solaris docs, this warning is harmless.
The SunCC compiler has a "smart" template-compilation model which allows
you to only DECLARE template classes in X.h, and the compiler will
automatically look for definitions in X.cc.  If X.cc does not exist,
it emits the warning.

This "searching" process is fully described in the manual.  I get it even
on some of my own code, but it works when run.

Look at sections 7.5 and 5.2 in the following links:
http://docs.sun.com/source/819-3690/Compiling_Templates.html
http://docs.sun.com/source/819-3690/Program_Org.html#24618

It seems that the option -template=no%extdef should help (-template=extdef
is the default).
