egcs-980525 gets private scope wrong ?

[dcb at pncl dot co dot uk (David C Binderman)]

Hello there,

I think this C++ code should compile ok.

class K {
private:
	static K qwe;
	K();
	~K();
};

K K::qwe;


However, egcs-980525 says

p180.cc:9: warning: all member functions in class `K' are private
p180.cc:9: warning: `class K' only defines a private destructor and has no
friends
p180.cc: In function `(static destructors for p180.cc)':
p180.cc:8: Error: `K::~K()' is private
p180.cc:12: Error: within this context
