-ansi is the same as -std=c89, which means ISO C90 (yes, funny).
Ok, this is one of the C _standard_.
But nowadays, when we are talking about _standard_ C, we are more
probably talking about ISO C99. So you should do your tests with -std=c99
instead of -ansi.

And it seems that named initializers ARE _standard_ C :
