I'm getting lots of errors on code that compiled fine in 7.1.
Most of it boils down to the following new compiler bug:

struct A
{
  int foo() const { return 1; }
};

struct B : A
{
  typedef A base ;
};

I think the new compiler is right, 7.1 is wrong, and the problem is in your code. You're doing private inheritance. By writing

struct B : A

you are essencially making foo() invisible. You should try

struct B : public A
