My reading of C99 standard (section 6.7.2.1) is that nameless unions/structures
are now part of standard.  The fix should go into GCC not the mingw headers. 
GCC -pedantic -std=iso9899:199x should not raise warnings about unnamed
structures; GCC -pedantic -std=iso9899:199409 should.

I think the warnings should stay for now, since they are extensions to the
currently supported standard.
