 I was reading §3.6.2p1 <<before any other initialization takes place>> in
 this way.
 Anyway, the bug is about the order of initialization between two static data
 members. Since instantiation of class templates does not affect
 initialization of static data members (as per quoted paragraph), even if you
 instantiate the class templates before inizializing the data members, you
 should respect the order of inizialization of the data members.
 It seems to me that GCC is initializing the static data members because the
 templates are instantiated, but this violates §14.7.1p8.
