This is misstated.  VLAs are a standard feature.  What you're avoiding here
is VLA members of structs and unions, which are a GNU extension.

I also don't think you're doing it the ideal way.  A union of two arrays of
length one is useless.  It might trigger complaints from  _FORTIFY_SOURCE
or other such bounds-checking tools.
