[boost] Strange gcc 3.2.2-5.8 behavior

The following bit of code gives me an undefined symbol (l1) when using 
gcc 3.2.2-5.8.  Is there something wrong with the code or is there a bug 
in the compiler or a setting I don't know about, etc?

struct S { static const short l1 = 10; };

void go(const short& l) {}; // causes undefined symbol l1

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {  go(S::l1);  return 0; }

If I do normal, non-in-class-initialization, the problem doesn't appear 
nor does it appear if I accept the short by value in go.

Thanks,
John
