We brought up g++ 1.35.0 last week and ran into a series of problems.
The only one I wasn't able to work around is the following:

The following code incorrectly, I believe, calls the derived method
instead of the base class method.  Is this still a problem in newer
versions?  What can I do for a fix?

g++ version 1.35.0
  /usr/local/lib/gcc-cpp -+ -v -undef -D__GNU__ -D__GNUG__ -D__cplusplus -Dvax -Dunix -D__vax__ -D__unix__ t.cc /tmp/cca04568.cpp
GNU CPP version 1.35
  /usr/local/lib/gcc-cc1plus /tmp/cca04568.cpp -quiet -dumpbase t.cc -noreg -version -o /tmp/cca04568.s
GNU C++ version 1.35.0 (vax) compiled by GNU C version 1.34.
  as /tmp/cca04568.s -o t.o
  /usr/local/lib/gcc-ld++ -C /usr/local/lib/crt0+.o t.o -lg++ /usr/local/lib/gcc-gnulib -lc

class parent {
public:
    int foo() { printf("parent\n"); }
};

class child : public parent {
public:
    int foo() { printf("child\n"); }
};

main()
{
    child bar;

    int i = bar.parent::foo();
}
