probably there is a relation to bug 48882

I do not attach the precompiled file (.ii), because it is too big.

#include<algorithm> // std::max  std::min
#include<iostream>

template<typename T>
const T& myMin(const T& a, const T& b) {
   if(a < b) return a;
   return b;
}
template<typename T>
const T& myMax(const T& a, const T& b) {
   if(a > b) return a;
   return b;
}

int main() {
   int a = 1000;
   int b = 2000;
   bool even = true;
   const int& (*fp)(const int&, const int&);
   fp = even ? myMax<int> : myMin<int>;   /* yields link error */
    std::cout << fp(a,b) << std::endl;
}

does not link. Output :
