Internal compiler error: expected a const, fn, struct, or variant def

[gmorenz]

Code:

static mut n_mut: uint = 0;

static n: &'static uint = unsafe{ &n_mut };

fn main() {}

Compiler output with backtrace:

unexpected_failure_mini.rs:1:1: 1:28 warning: code is never used: `n_mut`, #[warn(dead_code)] on by default
unexpected_failure_mini.rs:1 static mut n_mut: uint = 0;

note: the compiler hit an unexpected failure path. this is a bug.
note: we would appreciate a bug report: http://doc.rust-lang.org/complement-bugreport.html
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` for a backtrace
