Not a bug, all conforming compilers will reject this code (e.g. try it at
http://www.comeaucomputing.com/tryitout/ or http://llvm.org/demo to check)

You need to say:

        return factory.template constructT<T>();

because factory is a dependent name and the compiler doesn't know that
factory.constructT is a template (it could be a data member being compared with
less-than)
