  struct perf_event_attr attr = { 
	.config = 0x1234, 
	{ .config1 = 0x5678 },
  };

sometimes works, but apparently not in this case.. its a bit unfortunate
indeed. EDG based compilers and the latest C std use your version --
hence also 4.6 supporting it.

Yeah, I'm afraid we're stuck with this until a future where modern C
isn't modern anymore.
