Indeed at http://www.cygnus.com/news/corel.html there is a press release
that describes a deal between Corel and Cygnus in the course of which
Cygnus will implement anonymous unions.
At http://www.integrita.com/cgi-local/lwgate.pl/WINE-DEVEL/archives/1999-03/Subject/article-210.html
the Corel project leader explictely mentions:
4) General syntactic enhancements to make MSVC code compile. This
includes things like __stdcall, anonymous unions, etc etc.
Apparently those Cygnus employees assigned these task are not subscribed
to the egcs lists, however,... ;-)
