Thanks!  I had run into this using clang on Linux, too, but hadn't
spent the time to track it down and write a patch.

Running

	git grep -e 'enum [^ ]*;'

doesn't find any other instances of this error.  Thanks for fixing it.

By the way, not about this patch:

This '/* in object-store.h */' comment can easily go stale since
nothing enforces that it stays accurate.  I don't think it's a useful
comment to have anyway, since it's straightforward to grep for where
the struct is defined.  I think we should remove the comment.

Thanks,
Jonathan
