I'm not sure if G++ is wrong here.  Here's what cfront 1.2.1 sez:

----------------------------------------
CC  bug.c:
"bug.c", line 12: error: two declarations of class1::method1()
sorry, cannot recover from previous error
1 error
----------------------------------------

This error certainly makes intuitive sense, although I can see how one
might come to the other interpretation from the ``manual.''  I guess
we'll just have to wait for 2.0 and the new C++ reference...
