redhat 7.0, i386, gcc/g++ from the latest
rawhide (gcc-2.96-74.i386.rpm)
>Description:
g++ fails to see relation with typedefed types
of classes thru inheritance when multiple namespaces
are being used. See attached sourcecode for example
of failing code. The problem was found while trying
to find why TAO (www.theaceorb.com) doesn't compile
with g++ 2.96.

While compiling the attached sourcecode, the following
error should occur:
failed-constructor.cc: In method `TEST2::C::C (int, int)':
failed-constructor.cc:22: type `ABC' is not an immediate or virtual 
basetype for `TEST2::C'
>How-To-Repeat:
g++ -c namespace-typedef-problem.cc 
>Fix:
None that I would know of
