Comment (by kencu):

 I think it is a gcc / clang difference.

 Quite possibly clang should not accept that code, but does. I saw
 something about it being accepted after a certain clang version
 (3.something) so maybe that is why forcing a newer clang worked.

 Anyways, some simple enough options. I guess the patch would hinge on
 whether gcc was the build compiler -- or could just be always applied, and
 then probably no need for forcing a c11 compiler at all I would think.

 Up to you.
