I've as yet to run across a compiler that was modifed to match ANSI
that made code with undefined behavior illegal. Issue a warning, yes,
but not an error. I'm even used to them issuing only a warning if ANSI
says the situation in question should be an error.

So, can you provide a code sample with undefined behavior, and the
name of a compiler that used to accept such code, and now considers it
an error?
