RE: difference between gcc 3.2.2 and 3.3.1

It looks to me that you are trying to implicitly include a "test" member in the tag_xwt_gtk_modal struct simply by including another struct (BASE) without declaring a variable of that type.  I'm not sure this is valid C/C++...  If I'm wrong, then you should probably file a bug report.  Otherwise, you (or the maintainers of this library) should probably fix the library.

typedef struct base
{
   int test;
} BASE, *P_BASE;

typedef struct tag_xwt_gtk_modal
{
  BASE; <<<------------------------- I don't believe this is valid.
  int modal;
  int canceled;
  struct {
     int c;
     int d;
  };
} MODAL, *P_MODAL;

int main()
{
   MODAL x;
   x.modal = 1;
   x.test = 1;
   x.c = 1;
}
