GCC C++ Can't overload inherited member functions ... WHAT????

Thanks for your bug report. Yes, you are mistaken; g++ is correctly
detecting the error in your code. For a detailed discussion, please
ask in one of the C++ fora (such as comp.lang.c++.moderated). In
short, this overloading is (and never was) possible in C++; you'd have
to use using-declarations. Due to real bug in g++, those
using-declarations don't work (see bugs.html); you can use delegation
in the derived class.
