I have managed to compile the snippet you gave. The only change is to replace set with std::set in the typedef line. I didn't follow the link you gave to the original code.

$ cat main.cc 
#include <set>

class C {
};

class A {
    typedef std::set<C> my_set;
};

int main()
{
    return 0;
}
$

$ g++-3.0 -Wall main.cc 
$

$ g++-3.0 -v

Or did I missed something?
