GCC-3.0 Compile Problems With Pool Library

I am unable to compile the pool test program using gcc version 3.0 even 
though the compiler status page reports successful compilation with this 
version.  (I'm using Debian testing version 3.0.2)

The compile fails when it tries to use sizeof(void *) as a template argument. 
 
Is this a bug I should report to the GCC team?  Has anyone out got this to 
compile with gcc 3.0.2? 

I've seen this problem with each version of Boost.  This build attempt was 
done with version 1.26.

Here is the actual compiler output:
