Wrong protection using friend declaration

[Fengler, Matthias]

Hello,

using a friend declaration within a nested struct causes egcs-1.1.2 to make
all members of the enclosing struct private.
Here is a short example that demonstrates this behavior.
Removing the friend declaration makes the program compile just fine.
This is a plain egcs-1.1.2 on a linux-2.2.2/glibc system.

struct C1
{
        C1(){};
        struct XX  {
                friend class C1;
        };
};

struct C2 : public C1
{
        C2(){};

};

$ g++ -c x.cpp
x.cpp:7: warning: all member functions in class `C1' are private
x.cpp: In method `C2::C2()':
x.cpp:3: `C1::C1()' is private
x.cpp:11: within this context
$ g++ -v
