extern "C"
{
  struct x {int x;};
  enum e{a= 0, b, c};
}

Maybe the gcc 3.4 diagnostic is better:
extrn.cc:3: error: ISO C++ prohibits anonymous structs

It is required by the ISO C++ standard.

Any code which uses classic iostreams should be updated to use standard
    iostreams. 

GCC >= 3.0 does not support classic iostreams. "iostream.h" is just:

#include "backward_warning.h"
#include <iostream>

and some appropriate using declarations. For simple cases this is
    backward-compatible with classic iostreams, but in some cases it
    is not.

So if you tried to use 'both' you would really be using the same
    iostreams in both places.

No.
