I don't believe this was ever a GNU language feature as such; it was never 
documented as an extension to my knowledge.  It was just one of many, many 
places where we allowed more code to compile than we should have.

If people really feel that we need to add this back in, we can do that with 
-fpermissive -- but the only exception we should make is for floating-point 
types, not aggregates, etc.  That latter case cannot really be made to work 
reliably without major work.
