failing test on julia 1.6.1

Hi, this test is failing for me:

Every other test is working, but a few are skipped:

edit: I'm on StaticArrays v1.1.3

[mateuszbaran]

Julia 1.6 is a bit more strict about ambiguities. I think it would be nice to fix them but they don't seem particularly harmful.

[nico202]

should we disable this test with something like

@static if VERSION >= v"1.6.0"

?

[mateuszbaran]

More or less, I think this should be a @test_broken on Julia >=1.6.

This was changed to @test_broken in #928 and might be closed now (the ambiguities themselves remain an issue of course).
