gcc-2.8.0-971206: Qualified friend declaration in nested class

[Thomas Weise]

Cannot specify qualified friend 'foo::f()', just 'f()' works though.
This is for both, gcc-2.8.0-971206 and egcs-1.0.

tom@hermes:/home/tom > cat x12.cc
class foo
{
  public:
   static int f();

   class bar {
     friend int foo::f();
   };
};

int main()
{
   return 0;
}
