This is not a bug.
[13.3.3.2]/2 says that a standard conversion sequence is better
than an ellipsis conversion sequence.
The note in [13.3]/1 says:
The function selected by overload resolution is not guaranteed to
be appropriate for the context. Other restrictions, such as the
accessibility of the function, can make its use in the calling
context ill-formed.
Converting a pointer to a pointer of a base class is a standard
conversion. So gcc is right in choosing f(A*) and complaining
about it later.
