So gcc's error message is ---- snip ---- [...]: error: array type has incomplete element type ---- snip ---- So one declares an array without the declaration of the struct before. Before apparently gcc tolerated this (and issued eventually a warning) and gcc-4>whatever> now issues an error there. So the solution is to #include the .h file with the declaration (or do whatever is approriate to get the compiler to know the struct). And I can't find any hint or reason why arrays of struct should no longer be declarable (where pointers to arrays of structs are).
