I didn't think of that, since C++ has had anonymous unions from the beginning.
It seems that both gcc and clang allow anonymous union in pre-C11 code
for "compatibility with other compilers." (see
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Unnamed-Fields.html)

They don't actually use the explicit field though, so their build will
be unaffected by this change.
