It is surprisingly difficult to work around this without an obj file.. a
function template friend get/set with static local might work.

template <class T1> struct A {
static int val;
}

template <class T1> int A<T1>::val = 0;

int main() {
}
// Internal error: init 1864

But this one does not. This is an example of a static data member initialized
via a conversion c'tor.

struct B {
B(const char* c) { }
};

template <class T1> class A {
static B val;
};

template <class T1> B A<T1>::val = "test";

int main() {
A<int> a;
}
// Internal error: init 1864

If the template class is changed to a non template class, the example compiles.
This can be worked around by making the static a char* and performing the
conversion to a temporary when needed.
