[Bug c++/26571] New: [4.0/4.1/4.2 regression] Bad diagnostic using type modifier with struct

[reichelt at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The invalid testcase

===============================
struct A {};
unsigned A a;
===============================

triggers the following bogus error message since GCC 3.4.0:

  bug.cc:2: error: 'A' does not name a type

The error message before wasn't very helpful

  bug.cc:2: error: syntax error before `;' token

but at least it wasn't plain wrong.
So I rate this as a regression.
