I am using gcc version 2.96-mips3264-000710 (from sdelinux-5.01-4eb.i386.rpm). The kernel is, obviously, 2.4.21 (from linux-mips.org). uclibc is version 0.9.21.
I have seen one or two other posting related to this same error. However, I was unable to find any suggested resoltions. Does anyone know of a solution to this compile error?
There is an updated version of the compiler that handles zero-length arrays in structures correctly. See ftp://ftp.mips.com/pub/tools/software/sde-for-linux/
Alternatively you could apply the attached patch
