>Description:
	The latest development gcc rejects code that was previously accepted.
	It's not clear (at least to me) if this is a bug, or a case of gcc now
	validly rejected code that is in fact noncompliant with the C standard.

  typedef struct {
    enum { A, B}; /* values for x */
    int x;
  } z;
