The changes are explained at http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.4/changes.html
section "C++".
If I understand that correctly in a situation like

template <class T > class Parent {
public: int f();
};
...
int f();
...
template <class T > class MyClass : public Parent {
void xy() { f(); }
}

in xy() the global function f will be called.
_Why_ this is done we will probably have to ask some g++ developer or Mr. 
Stroustrup himself.
