egcs 1.0.3 bug (?) promoting to template type

[Gregory Bond <gnb at itga dot com dot au>]

egcs 1.0.3a, Sun Sparc E450, Solaris 2.6, --with-gnu-ld

The following code works as expected:
-------------
struct A 
{
      A();
      A(int);
      friend bool operator==(const A&, const A&);
};

int
main()
{
   A a(2);
   return a == 1;
}
--------------

i.e. the constant 1 is promoted to a type A and the op==(A, A) is called.

The template equivalent to that (if I've understood the nuances of this bit of
the new standard correctly - which is a definite maybe!) gets surprising
results:

--------------
class A;
bool operator==(const A&, const A&);

template <class T> struct B;

template <class T>
bool operator==(const B<T>&, const B<T>&);

template <class T>
struct B 
{
      B();
      B(int);
      friend bool operator== <>(const B&, const B&);
};

int
main()
{
   B<bool> b(2);
   return b == 1;
}
