Apparently, not all standard-layout types are POD types.  GCC has

/* Nonzero means that this class type is not POD for the purpose of layout
   (as defined in the ABI).  This is different from the language's POD.  */
CLASSTYPE_NON_LAYOUT_POD_P

and

/* Nonzero means that this class type is a non-standard-layout class.  */
#define CLASSTYPE_NON_STD_LAYOUT

They aren't the same.

struct A { };
struct B { };
struct C : A, B { };

C is a standard-layout type, but not a standard-layout POD type.
