All compilers are expected to handle this in the same way, as this is
in C standard. This patch is not neccessary, and should not be in mainline,
either.

6.7.2.2 Enumeration specifiers
Syntax
...
3 The identifiers in an enumerator list are declared as constants that have type int and
may appear wherever such are permitted.107) An enumerator with = defines its
enumeration constant as the value of the constant expression. If the first enumerator has
no =, the value of its enumeration constant is 0. Each subsequent enumerator with no =
defines its enumeration constant as the value of the constant expression obtained by
adding 1 to the value of the previous enumeration constant. (The use of enumerators with
= may produce enumeration constants with values that duplicate other values in the same
enumeration.) The enumerators of an enumeration are also known as its members.
