Reading specs from /usr/local/cluster/gcc-3.1/objdir/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.1/specs
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr/local/cluster/gcc-3.1/objdir/
Thread model: single
gcc version 3.1
>Description:
G++ rejects what by my reading seems like a valid using-declaration.

$ /usr/local/cluster/gcc-3.1/objdir/bin/c++ -c foo.cc
foo.cc: In function `void f()':
foo.cc:3: parse error before `operator'
foo.cc:3: `I' undeclared (first use this function)
foo.cc:3: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function 
   it appears in.)
foo.cc:3: `i' undeclared (first use this function)
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Workaround is to either move the using-declaration out of the
function to the file scope, or turn it in the function scope to:
  using namespace std::rel_ops;
