Before the error, let me post a request.  I checked in to this
news source about a week ago to find that there are some
updates for the G++ 1.35.0 compiler.  None of my normal sources
for sources has any diffs for 1.35.1 or above.  Where can I find them?
I would be happy to receive them via ftp or by direct e-mail.

Now then. (Sounds better that it reads.)

Granted that this is probably only mysterious to me, I would like
some help deciphering a G++ error message.


class DnaPool : public StringGenericSplayMap {};
//...//
class Dna {
protected:
  static DnaPool dnaPool(0);
//...//
};

The StringGenericSplayMap has been tested previously when defined using
constructors.  It was created from libg++'s prototype class SplayMap.

The compiler reports:
  storage class specified for typename
on the static ... line.  It is not the case of the symbols because
I checked that.  What could it be complaining about?

Your problem is that you are trying to declare a *static* class
variable dnaPool (0) that takes a constructor.  This is currently
illegal in cfront 1.2 (and in some versions of G++).  cfront 2.0 lifts
this restriction somewhat and I assume G++ will also handle this
properly in subsequent releases (in fact, it may already handle it
correctly).
