State-Changed-Why:
    The error message is indeed warranted, although it is
    formulated in such a clumsy way that it's hard to understand
    what exactly is wrong. Here's what icc says:
    g/x> icc -c x.cc
    x.cc(11): error: a nonstatic member reference must be relative to a specific object
        void f(void) { sizeof(A::B::a); }
                                    ^
    
    However, things are worse: present mainline ICEs on this
    code:
    g/x> /home/bangerth/bin/gcc-3.4-pre/bin/c++ -c x.cc
    x.cc: In member function `void C::f()':
    x.cc:11: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault
    
    This is a regression w.r.t. previous versions.
    
    W.
