This is far from the most important compatibility problem that will face C++ code written against g++'s extremely lax implementation;  two-phase lookup problems are much more prevalent and cannot just be patched over without severely compromising the design, efficiency, and diagnostic quality of our template system.

Don't get me wrong, the effort is appreciated.  I'm just letting you know that we do consider this an error in the user program.  We could probably reasonably support this as an extension in gnuc++98 mode;  we'd have to evaluate its implications, though.

Please.  In fact, please file bugs for all of these.
