Jonathan, that is a different case. A static (const or otherwise) member of a
class needs a definition in order to take its address, but the bug I reported
is not about static member of a class, rather it is about a static variable
local to a function template. Interestingly as I said, this code compiles fine
in gcc-4.5.1, but not in gcc-4.6.1. 


Also, if I do the same in a non-template function, it works fine, as expected.
