>Description:
The following code works correctly:

  #include <iostream>
  using namespace std;

  template <class T> struct s;

  template <class T>
  ostream& operator<<(ostream &o, const typename s<T>::t &x)
  {
    return o;
  }

  template <class T>
  struct s {
    struct t
    {
      friend ostream&
      operator<<<T>(ostream&, const typename s<T>::t &);
    };
    t x;
  };

  int main()
  {
    s<int>::t y;
    cout << y;
  }

but if the member 'x' in 'struct s' is removed, the compliler issues the following
error: 

  templ.cc: In instantiation of `s<int>::t':
  templ.cc:24:   instantiated from here
  templ.cc:17: `à%@à”@' redeclared as different kind of symbol
  templ.cc:17: sorry, not implemented: `integer_cst' not supported by dump_decl
  cc1plus: previous declaration of `<declaration error>'
  templ.cc:17: confused by earlier errors, bailing out
