configure: Add -Wno-gnu-variable-sized-type-not-at-end
A Linux headers update to v6.0-rc switches some definitions from GNU 'zero-length-array' extension to the C-standard-defined flexible array member. e.g. struct kvm_msrs { __u32 nmsrs; /* number of msrs in entries */ __u32 pad; - struct kvm_msr_entry entries[0]; + struct kvm_msr_entry entries[]; }; Those (unlike the GNU zero-length-array) have some extra restrictions like 'this must be put at the end of a struct', which clang build would complain about. e.g. the current code struct { struct kvm_msrs info; struct kvm_msr_entry entries[1]; } msr_data = { } generates the warning like: target/i386/kvm/kvm.c:2868:25: error: field 'info' with variable sized type 'struct kvm_msrs' not at the end of a struct or class is a GNU extension [-Werror,-Wgnu-variable-sized-type-not-at-end] struct kvm_msrs info; ^ In fact, the variable length 'entries[]' field in 'info' is zero-sized in GNU defined semantics, which can give predictable offset for 'entries[1]' in local msr_data. The local defined struct is just there to force a stack allocation large enough for 1 kvm_msr_entry, a clever trick but requires to turn off this clang warning. Suggested-by:Daniel P.
