I've missed the first paragraph in section 3.3.7.  You are correct that
posix::stat() should be visible in the argument list (this happens just
after the declarator-id).  posix::stat() then hides ::stat completely
(even the struct ::stat part).

So this is just a suboptimal diagnostic and not a real bug (IMHO).
