[Bug c++/25525] New: 'const' modifier is ignored in static_cast specifier

["yuri at tsoft dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

The following code produces 'casting away constness' error on 'static_cast'
line. Should be no warning.

------------- code -----------------------

struct A { };
struct B : A { };

template<typename PTR>
const PTR mycast(const A *a) {
  return (static_cast<const PTR>(a));
}

const B* mycast(const A *a) {
  return (mycast<B*>(a));
}
