Replying one message from comp.lang.c++ I discovered a strange
DJGPP behavior. IMHO C++ standard forbids the construction below.

class base
>{

A C++ class members can be initialized by the use of a constructor only.
The author of an original message <6k5lsf$40i$1 AT news DOT iastate DOT edu>
in comp.lang.c++ claimed that g++ 2.8.0 compiles such things fine
but abandons to link saying that 'nn' is unresolved.
I tried DJGPP 2.8.0 and it did the same. Is it a bug?
