>Description:
	
	Compiling the presumably invalid code below gives an ICE on mainline
	and 2.95.x.

	gcc version 3.1 20011113 (experimental)
	: In function `int main()':
	:4: Internal compiler error in make_decl_rtl, at varasm.c:834

	gcc version 2.95.4 20011006 (Debian prerelease)
	: In function `int main()':
	:4: Internal compiler error:
	:4: Internal compiler error in `expand_expr', at expr.c:5852

	gcc version 3.0.2 (Debian)
	Compiles OK.  The value of c is 0 (zero).  Changing the code to return
	'x' instead '&x' results in a segmentation fault at runtime.

>How-To-Repeat:
	int foo(int const& x) { return int(&x); }

	int main() {
		int const& c = foo(c);
		return 0;
	}
