[Bug c++/26011] New: References to const pointers to const objects don't work as expected.

["ciprian dot craciun at gmail dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

I think the best way to describe the problem is giving a simple piece of code:

int t1;
int t2;

int * a = &t1;
int const * const & b = a;

a = &t2;

printf ("test 2: %x %x\n", a, b);
if (a != b)
        printf ("UPS!!!\n");

    My gcc -v outputs:
