Not knowing anything about the Apple specifics, this sounds wrong and
is a common pitfall on the lists.
If you're _bootstrapping_ the compiler, you typed 'make bootstrap' and
"apple's hacked up gcc" should be used to build cc1 and friends and then
_that_ compiler (which does know about the designated initializer thing)
should be used to build the non-C languages. So one of those two things
didn't happen.
Back in the old days, there were words in the equivalent of
install/build.html that using anything other than the bootstrap target
to build the lanaguages other than C was a recepie for failure. I can't
readily spot those words and, unfortunately, we've never seen fit to
enforce it in the code. So people fall into this trap regularly.
