Patch by Junio C Hamano to workaround a gcc compiler bug.
The construct certain vintages of GCC (the one I have trouble
with is 3.2.3) have trouble with looks like the following:
static struct st a;
static struct st *p = &a;
struct st { int foo; };
static void init(void) { a.foo = 0; }
The problem disappears if we move the struct declaration up to
let the compiler know the shape of the struct before the first
definition uses it, like this:
struct st { int foo; }; /* this has been moved up */
static struct st a;
static struct st *p = &a;
static void init(void) { a.foo = 0; }
