netbsd-4 has gcc4 as the system compiler and gcc4 no longer accepts
arrays of incompelte type.  gcc3 and earlier versions accepted them,
treating the name as struct foo * and would only report an error if
you try to do something that needs the complete definition.  gcc4
treats mere declaration of such struct as an error.  This is
apparently what C99 specifies.
