This seems to be a bug in gcc, since this is an anonymous union, which
requires just *one* field to be specified, because this is what actually
exist there given the context (other fields don't exist).

But it's a known isssue, it seems, and there's a workaround already, so
I'll upload a new version.

Thanks,
