This is a latent bug in the gcc-2.96 series parser. I came across it a
while ago but forgot to pay attentin to it. The crux of the problem
lies in that, somehow the lexer thinks '<:' is a token.

Obviously the same problem appears in

	struct X {};

	template<typenanme T> struct Y {};

	int main() 
	{
		Y<::X> z;
	}
