Just because there is a bug opened about it with GCC that does not make it a
GCC bug :-\ The code is using C11 functionality so it's hard to blame the
compiler considering that we use -std=c99

Imho a better solution would be to add -fms-extensions to the CFLAGS. This will
enable anonymous struct/unions and keep things working for pre 4.6 versions of
GCC.
