The program below compiles cleanly with GCC 4.0.1, although the definition of
Foo::foo required by the standard (9.4.2/4) is missing.

It probably makes sense to accept such programs as a GNU extension (as long as
the address of the member is not taken).

#include <cstdio>

struct Foo
{
  static const int foo = 42;
};

int
main ()
{
  std::printf ("%d\n", Foo::foo);
  return 0;
}
