[Mingw-users] "declaration does not declare anything"

[Clint S. <csmulle@CLEMSON.EDU>]

Under MinGW GCC 3.2.3, the following style of code compiles without errors:

	struct element {
		union {
			struct {
				...
			} box;
		};
	};

But, under 3.3.1 and the current 3.3.3 candidate, I get the following error:

	warning: declaration does not declare anything

and most of the rest of my code fails to build because of this.  I have 
been unable to find any information about this language feature being 
removed, or any other information about why this error occurs from either 
the MinGW site or the FSF site.  Thanks for any help.
