Ambiguous Overload for stringstream

Question

My code looks something like:

template <typename type> void deserialize_element(type* result) {
    //...
    if /*...*/
    else stringstream(line) >> *result;
}

MSVC compiles without an issue, but GCC gives:

    error: ambiguous overload for 'operator>>' in 'std::basic_stringstream<char>(((const std::basic_stringstream<char>::__string_type&)((const std::basic_stringstream<char>::__string_type*)(& line))), std::operator|((std::_Ios_Openmode)16u, (std::_Ios_Openmode)8u)) >> * result'

    /usr/include/c++/4.5/istream:124:7: note:                 std::basic_istream<_CharT, _Traits>::__istream_type& std::basic_istream<_CharT, _Traits>::operator>>(std::basic_istream<_CharT, _Traits>::__ios_type& (*)(std::basic_istream<_CharT, _Traits>::__ios_type&)) [with _CharT = char, _Traits = std::char_traits<char>, std::basic_istream<_CharT, _Traits>::__istream_type = std::basic_istream<char>, std::basic_istream<_CharT, _Traits>::__ios_type = std::basic_ios<char>] <near match>

Now, I've seen some similar questions here on Stack Overflow and elsewhere. These appear to deal with people subclassing stringstream or other dodginess. As far as I'm concerned, this should just be as simple as applying ">>" to an ordinary stringstream and a char? Why isn't this working?
