The problem was that the template parameter named "Functor" clashed
with the class named "Functor". That is why I renamed the template
parameter. I only used the typedef to keep the lines changed to a
minimum. An alternative would be to rename the class.
I thought prepending "_" to template parameters was an Eigen standard
precisely to avoid name clashes when the names are very generic, like
_Scalar, _Rows, _Cols and _Options in class Matrix.
Anyhow, I'm sorry I broke compilation with GNU, I didn't bother
recompiling since the change was so trivial. I'll look into it.

Sorry, I didn't quite get that.
Well, over here removing the 'typename' in front of _Function fixes the compilation for GCC.
typedef _Functor Functor;
You only need the typename when the type you want to redefine is a nested template type depending on the class's template parameters. Unfortunately, VC9 neither complains when the the typename keyword is missing nor when it is given and not required - both cases are treated as compilation errors by GCC.
