c++/10086: static const int unresolved in ? : construct

[Wolfgang Bangerth]

> I do not agree. 

That doesn't make it right. The standard says that you need to have 
definitions of static variables like
  const int Base::A;
and it allows the compiler to make use of these variables without using 
the provided constant initializers. Just because it uses them in one 
context and not in another doesn't mean you should rely on that.
