g++ 2.95.2 error parsing a scoped friend declaration

Thanks for your bug report. This is a known bug (to me, at least), and
it is very hard to fix given the current parser. There is a patch to
have it accept globally-qualified friends, but that breaks other
stuff. If the mythical parser re-write ever happens, that will also be
fixed.
