[Bug c++/18289] New: GCC3.4.2 selects incorrect function overload when an ellipsis overload is available

["aleethorp at hotmail dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

GCC 3.4.2 selects an overload that requires an inaccessible conversion when an
ellipsis function overload is available

Platform is Cygwin on Windows 2000.

See the example below.

class A {};
class B : public A {};
class C : private A {};

void f(...);
void f(A*);
void error()
{
  f(static_cast<B*>(0));
  f(static_cast<C*>(0)); // <- Line 42
}

Conversion.cc: In function `void error()':
Conversion.cc:42: error: `A' is an inaccessible base of `C'
