To make things short: The bug is a duplicate of PR24791.

The "class stuff" is invalid. As mentioned in PR24791, GCC 4.0.0 -4.0.2 did not
crash on the code. All other releases before GCC 4.3.0 did.

Because this is just a declaration and not a definition for the static member.
You need to add an initializer to make it a definition.
Then this should work as expected.
