That is not correct. The entire purpose of `transparent_union' is for this
hack, and the purpose of the hack is exactly that such redeclarations will
work without an error. If the boneheads broke this in GCC again, either it
has to get fixed or we have to just punt this feature entirely and break
all programs that use `union wait'.
