I recieved this mail from Jeff Garzik.

It pretty much confirm what we already knew.

I will try to make some comment about it in
an appropriate documents files,
when I have more time.

It's in the mainline (ie., it'll be in the next major release), but didn't
make it in time for gcc-2.95 release tree and so won't be in gcc-2.95.2 and
so on.

libraries.

It's been in my windows binaries since gcc-2.95 and works quite well.  I've
extracted the patches needed for gcc-2.95, and you're welcome to try it out.
ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/cygwin/gcc-2.95/patches/
has my patchset. The files you want (at the very least), are the following:
gcc-2.95-anon-struct-union.diff ....... Anonymous structs/unions in C.
gcc-2.95-c++-anon-struct.diff   ....... Anonymous structs in C++.
gcc-2.95-c++-anon-struct2.diff  .......   small tweak.
gcc-2.95-c++-tidy.diff ................ Jason's C++ "tidying" patch.
Prereq for all other C++ patches.
You should also look at the others, especially the pragam patch which fixes
the currently broken code.

Mumit
