Thank you. This was introduced in 7.2 with support for ADL. Looks like a
bug in types_equal, which doesn't account for cv qualifiers.

What is "show check type"? If that is enabled/non-zero, gdb will not
allow this conversion. If you disable it ("set check type 0"), it should
work:

(gdb) p fn2(0x7fffffffde14)
Cannot resolve function fn2 to any overloaded instance
(gdb) set check type 0
(gdb) p fn2(0x7fffffffde14)
3
$7 = void
