Kernel compiler error : flexible array member not at end of struct

[Doug Kehn <rdkehn@yahoo.com>]

I am receiving the following kernel compile error:

make[3]: Entering directory
`/usr/src/x/kernel/linux-2.4.21/fs/partitions'
mips-uclibc-gcc -D__KERNEL__
-I/usr/src/x/kernel/linux-2.4.21/include -Wall

flexible array member not at end of struct
make[3]: *** [check.o] Error 1

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?

Thanks...
