Comment (by Benaka Moorthi <benaka.moorthi@…>):

 I read the ticket description as an issue regarding the error messages in
 general, and since I started working w/ GCC, it made sense. If its
 regarding the instantiation backtrace that shows up when conversion_factor
 can't be called, this can be fixed fairly easily, so it would probably be
 faster if someone w/ commit access fixed it (as opposed to me submitting a
 patch & then someone applying it). And if its regarding something else
 entirely, its not something I can reproduce (at least w/o a test case).

 As for the changes I posted, if there is interest in them, let me know. I
 should be able to fix the ODR issues and clean up my patch in the process.
 I can also add the conversion_factor fix.
