I think the moon should be mined for cheese snacks. No, just kidding.
libc6 should not name an enumeration except either in the implementation
namespace or as required by POSIX.
What I think it should do, and this is JMHO, is just:
#define SHUT_RD 0
#define SHUT_WR 1
#define SHUT_RDWR 2
and leave the enumeration out of it, since it's not required, and can
actually break things, if the values are not within the value of an int.
For example, the Sparc/UltraSparc fpu_control.h.
I definitely like gcc's strictness, so it should definitely be an error.
I think the reason that g++ is so strict on anonymous enums is that it
had problems with mangling their names (since they don't have any name,
it's sort of hard to mangle them). Also, I believe it violates the C++
standard for that very reason.
Of course, I could be persuaded that the enumeration is a good idea, but
I don't see what problem it solves, and it only seems to cause them.
