Linux kernel 2.4.3-12 on intel PIII (i686) 
>Description:
Cannot access a public static member of an object A 
contained in a stl container<A>
by simply using container[n].static_member (it compiles
but loader gives  undefined reference)

It works if I assign A foo=container[n]; and then
foo.static member.  
>How-To-Repeat:
just compile with g++ the not_working.cc file.
The working.cc contains the workaround (which 
compiles and runs fine).
>Fix:
I do not know (apart the workaround)
