I tried to locate the spot in the standard that says whether
  struxt X x;
is really legal only if X is declared as a "struct", rather 
than declared as a "class". I was under the impression that
it wouldn't matter, and couldn't find wording.

If it really doesn't matter, then I think it's not gcc's
job to warn about stuff simply because other compilers are not
standards conforming. It's their task to fix it. It the
standard prescribes that "struct X x" is only allowed if
X is really a struct, then we have a bug in gcc (and in icc, FWIW).

Nathan, your opinion?
