Here is what is happening here:
template <typename T> int qCompare(const T *t1, const T *t2) { return 1; }
template <typename T> int qCompare(T *t1, T *t2) { return 2; }
template <typename T1, typename T2> int qCompare(const T1 *t1, const T2 *t2) {
return 3; }
template<> int qCompare(const char *t1, const char *t2) { return 4; }
The last qCompare is specializing qCompare(const T1 *t1, const T2 *t2) but we
are choosing the first one as shown by the example DR 214.
So I think this bug is in fact invalid and GCC is doing the correct thing
according to these DR's.
