>Description:
The following test fails with 
"Scope3.java:14: Incompatible type for declaration. Can't convert `Scope3$A' to `A'."

It appears that gcj sees the correct (inner) class for the 
constructor call, but the wrong (top-level) class for the
variable declaration.

class A
{
}

public class Scope3
{
  public static void main(String args[])
  {
    new Scope3();
  }
  
  public Scope3()
  {
    A a = new A();
  }
  
  class A
  {}
}

Nice catch! Try with the proposed patch.
>Release-Note:
There is a new patch to cover 172, 174 and 176. See the ever
changing patch submitted for the re-opened PR #172.

 Thanks. I'm going to check in one and only one fix for the PR 172, 174
 and 176, since they're all stemming from the same problem.
