Seems like ms-extensions is enabled if the target is x86 with MS ABI, or
plan9-extensions is enabled. The former allows use of struct/union member names
the same as typedef names, and the latter allows passing pointers to
structs/unions and typedefs with anonymous fields, and referring to anonymous
fields declared using typedefs.

Cygwin may require these extensions to handle Windows structure definitions in a
Windows compatible way, to allow compilation of the Windows C and C++ modules
under winsup. That it enables C++ implicit int is unfortunate.
