State-Changed-Why:
    Yup, this is the parser bug documented in the known bugs web page.  GCC attempts to parse (long (int (bh)) as if it were a prefix of a type-cast such as (long (*)(int bh)), but the attempt fails when it doesn't encounter the third closing parenthesis that would be needed for such a parse to be correct, and then it can't recover to try an alternative parsing.  The new C++ parser being written is going to solve this problem.
