>Description:
The testcase

template< class T > bool operator!=( T t1, T t2 ) { return !t1==t2; }

enum { e1, e2 };

struct S {
	static const bool b= e1 != e2;
};

gives an error:
bug2.cxx:7: field initializer is not constant

This happens only when != arguments are enums, and
only when initializer is inside class declaration.
