(Warning or error? And what's wrong with it? ('mutable' is a member of 
an anonymous union.))

OK, thanks. If I add as many options as I can find, I get roughly 2000 
warnings (mostly about unused stuff), for example:

gcc -m64 -Wall -Wextra -Wformat=2 -Wno-format-nonliteral -Wshadow 
-Wpointer-arith -Wcast-qual -Wmissing-prototypes -Wno-missing-braces 
-std=c11 -D_GNU_SOURCE pcc64.c -opcc64.exe

but no errors. The pcc64.exe program is produced, and it will run, 
giving a usage message.

What options did you use? (Pretty strict I would bet.)

With C compilers as I normally use them:

    gcc (5.1.0 Windows)    0 warnings
    Pelles C             500 warnings (unused labels, unreachable code)
    lccwin                30 warnings
    MSVC                   3 warnings
    Tiny C                 0 warnings (don't know if it does warnings)
    bcc                  ---          (does not generate warnings)
    gcc (4.4.2 Linux)      1 warning  (overflow in numeric constant)
    gcc (6.2.0 Linux)      4 warnings (printf argument mismatch)
    DMC                   23 warnings (possible unintended assignments)

It's nice to see how much in agreement C compilers can be about what 
might be amiss in a program!

What do you mean by it breaks it?
