(I was the original reporter of this to TC)
I think the specific issue here is that the member function `_M_valptr()`
returns the address of the storage data member, and that _function_ is used in
a construct call elsewhere to point to the address where a new object should be
placed. It returns the address based on the offset from the beginning of the
object which changed when the base class (which had its own data members) was
removed.
So, if the function isn't inlined, the symbol that's actually loaded by the
dynamic linker during runtime will return a potentially bogus address for that
data member if the definition of that function came from a library compiled
with the other version.
