I don't think it added anonymous structures and unions in any sense
relevant to glibc - rather, -std=c1x -pedantic in 4.6 allowed exactly the
subset of anonymous structures and unions permitted in C11, which was
already allowed as an extension in -std=gnuNN modes (and so can already be
used in glibc, and is already used in various places).
