I am not at all sure that the code is legal, and even less that it is
a regression. The standard says that the two operands shall have the same
type, or that one should be convertible to the other one. This is not
the case here, where both would have to be converted to pointer-to-base.

FWIW, icc doesn't accept the code either. Gaby, would you mind
explaining on which part of 5.16 you base your opinion?
