target independent
>Description:
The following code should be rejected, since a.i is a
private member:

------------------snip here-----------------------
class { int i; } a;
void foo () { a.i; }
------------------snip here-----------------------

gcc 2.95.x and 3.0.x correctly reject the code,
however it is accepted with the 3.2-branch and mainline.

BTW, all version reject the code if private is explicitly specified:
   class { private: int i; } a;
or the class has a name:
   class A { int i; } a;

The PR was distilled from Martin Buchholz's message:
