Indeed.  While we agree that the crash is a bug in the compiler, the
right behavior is an error message, not a successful compilation.  It
may happen to work with some versions of GCC (including older versions
of Sourcery G++), but it is working by chance.  So, yes, this is a bug
in the code that you got.
