State-Changed-Why:
    This is a gdb problem.
    Not a g++ one.
    It's doing the lookup wrong.
    
    In fact, it tells you so.
    "the class A does not have any method named B"
    It's trying to find a method named B, in class A, instead of looking for a method named Hello, in class "A::B".
     
    You can prove it to yourself by using 
    rb A::C::Hello
    
    Which will avoid the normal lookup strategy (It will set breakpoints based on a regexp, thus, it just searches all the symbols, rather than trying to find just one symbol through the normal lookup path).
    
    I also looked at the generated debug info, just to make sure, and we are outputting the proper debug info.
