 The regression reported in PR c++/8205 still exists on the
 3.2 branch.  The patch that caused the bug to show up, and
 the patch that caused it to go away on the mainline, are
 shown here.  They are both very large so it's quite likely
 that this information isn't very useful.
 
 Here's the patch that caused the regression to show up:

 Here's a small test case that causes the compiler to
 complain about valid code on i686-linux with the 3.2
 branch cc1plus:
 
 -------------------
 class A { public: int i; };
 class B {};
 class E : A, B { public: using A::i; };
 
 int main() {
   E e;
   e.i; // "`A' is an inaccessible base of `E'"
 }
 -------------------
 
 Output from the 3.2 branch compiler:
 
 8205.C: In function `int main()':
 8205.C:7: `A' is an inaccessible base of `E'
