The line above should read ``typename vector<a *>::iterator i;''.

By means of -pedantic you have asked for stronger enforcement of the
C++ standards; without -pedantic, the implicit typename extension of
egcs comes into play.

Egcs is correct in diagnosing a syntax error, though I agree that a
more concrete error message would be nice.
