[Bug c++/23699] New: patch for #23099 breaks glibmm

["matz at suse dot de" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

Marks patch for fixing PR23099 from 2005-08-29 makes glibmm not compile: 
 
% cat glib-test.cc 
#include <string> 
struct A{ 
  static const long npos = std::string::npos; 
}; 
% g++ -c glib-test.cc 
glib-test.cc:3: error: field initializer is not constant 
 
Reverting it makes this compile again.  To fail it seems to need that the 
type of std::string::npos comes from a template argument member (the allocator 
of std::string in this case).  Easier tests do compile.  Also doing 
the initialization of A::npos outside the class definition makes this compile.
