7.1.1/8 says that 'mutable' can't be applied to reference members:
  The mutable specifier can be applied only to names  of
  class  data  members  (_class.mem_)  and  cannot  be  applied to names
  declared const or static, and cannot be applied to reference  members.

Yet gcc accepts this code:
----------------
class X {
    mutable int &q;
};
----------------
This would seem to be in error.
