SuSE Linux on AMD Athlon
>Description:
The code is correctly rejected, but gcc usually gives a hint what's wrong - the typename is misspelled. But inside
templates, it seems, this hint message is not generated.
When you make the template a simple class, g++ shows an approriate and helpful message.
>How-To-Repeat:
g++ gccbug.cc
>Fix:
Enable that message for templates too.
