No, you misunderstood your very own kludge ;-) gcc-2.7.2.3 (at least) hates
empty structure initializers anywhere. The ugly hack used pior to 2.1.114
works by moving the empty initializer to the end of the structure, and then
just leaving it out there. I just finished compiling a kernel with the
patch I sent earlier, it boots fine. In fact, that's what I'm running right
now.
