[Bug c++/27977] New: ICE when declaring recursive member in std namespace (illegal code)

["rschiele at uni-mannheim dot de" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

The following code makes the compiler to consume infinite stack memory during
compilation. Obviously the code is invalid.

struct a {
    a() {}
    a std::b;
};

This problem does occur with any gcc 4.0.2 or later, not with gcc 3.3.5 or
older. I have not checked versions in between.

std can be replaced with any other namespace known to the compiler to reproduce
the problem.
