The fundamental problem here is that G++ is not honoring [temp.inst], which
requires that:

"in particular, the initialization (and any associated side-effects) of a static
data member does not occur unless the static data member is itself used in a way
that requires the definition of the static data member to exist."

It is instead performing the initialization immediately when instantiating
"A<Derived*>".  I am looking into the issue.
