Re: anonymous structs in unions

Hmm, I tried with 2.95.3 and it complained. I take it gcc 3.2 understands this 
kind of constructs, I might consider switching to it (and recompiling tons of 
software that uses the old ABI, but that's it, it had to happen someday :) )

Thank you for clearing this up for me.
