It's not a syntax error. It's legal to have a declaration with no
declarators as long as the decl-specifiers declare a tag or
enumerator(s). Putting a storage-class, which for this purpose
includes 'typedef', in such a declaration has no effect, and is silly
and confusing, but does not require a diagnostic. Some compilers give
a warning, precisely because this combination is so unlikely to be
wanted, but not an error, because it is legal.
