The following two invalid code snippets are accepted by the C++ frontend
(the members of A cannot be defined in B):
===============================================
struct A { void foo(); };
struct B { friend void A::foo() {} };
===============================================
===============================================
struct A { A(); };
struct B { friend A::A() {} };
===============================================
Since the second code snippet was rejected in GCC 3.2.x and 3.3.x
(although with a bogus error message) this is regression.
