The problem is the recursion:

template <typename T>
auto make_array(const std::initializer_list<T> & il) ->
decltype(make_array(il))

You're declaring make_array to have the same return type as itself.  4.6
happily goes down the rabbit hole until it runs out of stack.  4.7 complains
and then crashes for another reason, which I will fix.
