It's a bug in Sun C++. This bug exists in all version and current
development branch. Compiler cannot select overloaded function and
shows incorrect ambiguity error in the following test case:

template <typename T>
void foo(T const & t) {}

template <typename T, unsigned N>
void foo(T ( & t ) [N]) {}

int main()
{
    foo("test");
}

If remove 'const' from the first function compiler works good.
