namespace B {
  template<typename U>
  class Class2 {
    template<typename V>

  private:
    int something_private;

}

template<typename T>
class Class1
{
  void error() {
    B::Class2 b;
    b.something_private = 42;
  }
};

Incorrectly issues an error because it things something_private is a private
member of B::Class2 (friend statement lookup didn't work). g++ correctly
doesn't flag an error.

Replacing the friend declaration by:

    template<typename V>
    friend class ::Class1;

Seems to fix the problem, confirming it looks like a name lookup problem.</pre>
