) Try -pedantic.  The trailing comma is a C99 addition.

I only harp on this because I allow the presence of trailing commas in
generated code, code that I trust is valid in traditional compilers.

-pedantic adds a warning, but not an error:
test.c:4: warning: comma at end of enumerator list

Adding a // comment, on the other hand, causes a parse error:
test.c:5: error: parse error before '/' token

(Both with and without -pedantic, but with -std=c89. -std=c89 is a synonym
for -ansi.)
