This is because of a defect in the standard:
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-active.html#280
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#179

I assume GCC implements the solution to the defect - check the gcc
headers (they usually include the defect number in a comment when
they've made such a fix).
