Do remember that the compiler used by the OP is ancient by compiler 
standards.

The code in question builds cleanly with more recent compilers (hint to 
OP: keep your tools up to date!) so it isn't possible to reproduce the 
error with something current.

As has been pointed out elsewhere, gcc and g++ error reporting is still 
a work in progress a dozen or so years after the OP's compiler was released!
