Comment (by Dave Steffen <dave.steffen@…>):

 Let me add, that my suggestions are workarounds -- the real problem is in
 the version of the standard that GCC 4.4 implemented.  However, the
 anonymous enum is A) not really needed; and B) although it's valid code,
 it combines with some of our AFAWKT valid code, to produce code GCC 4.4
 rejects.  We haven't found any way out of this, except to move to GCC 4.5,
 which isn't an option since 4.4 is part of our delivery platform.

 Thanks very much.
