So it's clear what the regression is:

gcc 3.3 puts the variables in .rodata with the correct value and emits no
initialization code

gcc trunk puts the variables in .rodata with the value -1 and emits
initialization code (with the correct value) which segfaults

That's based on the testcase:

struct C { int i, j; };
typedef int C::*mPtr;
extern const mPtr should_be_0 = &C::i;
extern const mPtr should_be_4 = &C::j;
