Which version of egcs, on which platform?  Both 1.0.1 and the latest
snapshot compile that fine for me, even without typename (which, IMHO,
is wrong)

Nope, the `typename' keyword is required to tell the parser that what
follows is a type name, not a static member variable or function.  The
C++ Standard states that, if a template-argument-dependent qualified
name is not preceded by the `typename' keyword, it is not to be
considered a type name.
