Yes, I found this a few hours after I posted the message.  Thank you.

But egcs still has a problem.  It doesn't give a correct error message
to this.  It mangles the call to the friend template.  For instance, in
the example program I gave, the error was something like:

"8 " is not a member function

Needless to say "8 " was not the name of the class...
