The invalid testcase
===============================
struct A {};
unsigned A a;
===============================
triggers the following bogus error message since GCC 3.4.0:
bug.cc:2: error: 'A' does not name a type
The error message before wasn't very helpful
bug.cc:2: error: syntax error before `;' token
but at least it wasn't plain wrong.
So I rate this as a regression.
