State-Changed-Why:
    You're missing the `typename' keyword before the template-dependent type name.  Compilers that don't complain about the lack of this keyword are in error.

>Description:
Compile test.cpp below:

template<class T>
void foo()
{
    T::A anInner;
}

gcc -c -Wall test.cpp
emits:
test.cpp: In function `void foo ()':
test.cpp:4: parse error before `;'

Is this code legal or is it a bug?
KAI 3.4f and MSVC 6.0 accept this code.
