All my attempts to use -frepo have failed so far. Either I get undefined
symbol errors when linking the final apps or duplicate definition errors
when linking the libs. 

The gcc manual even contains the following:

    Be warned,
    however, that this may cause conflicts if multiple libraries try
    to provide the same instantiations.  For greater control, use
    explicit instantiation as described in the next option.

Thus I guess we're better off to stay with (suitably hacked) _inst files.
