The following code fails to compile with an overload ambiguity in gcc 4.2.1. It
successfully compiles in 3.4.4, 4.0.3 and 4.1.1. In the error message, note
also the bogus display of the signature for the first candidate:
note: candidates are: bool std::operator!=(const std::allocator<_CharT>&, const
std::allocator<_T2>&) [with _T1 = std::_List_node<foo>, _T2 =
std::_List_node<foo>]

l1 = l2;
}
