qcc is just a compiler driver. By default, when you invoke qcc t.cc it 
uses gcc 2.95, and you are comparing it to a newer version of gcc. 
Earlier versions of gcc (pre-gcc 3.4) were very permissive with respect 
to C++ and did not catch this error.

You can download gcc 4.2 from the core developments project on the 
foundry and then change the default compiler qcc uses.
