 Reconfirmed on 3.4 CVS 20030430 and 3.3 CVS 20030421:
 
 pr5293.cpp: In function `any_class& operator*=(any_class&, const any_class&)
 [with any_class = C1]':
 pr5293.cpp:25:   instantiated from here
 pr5293.cpp:18: error: could not convert `C1::operator=(const
 C1&)((&C1::operator*(const C1&) const((+q))))' to `C1&'
 
 
 This is a regression wrt 2.95 which was emitting:
 
 pr5293.cpp: In function `class C1 & operator *=<C1>(C1 &, const C1 &)':
 pr5293.cpp:25:   instantiated from here
 pr5293.cpp:18: initialization of non-const reference type `class C1 &'
 pr5293.cpp:18: from rvalue of type `C1'
 pr5293.cpp:18: warning: returning reference to temporary
