`initializer element is not constant' issue

[Gigi Sullivan <sullivan at sikurezza dot org>]

Aiee :)

   Hello!

   I'd like to initialize global variables outside of
   functions (as usual) in a slightly different manner;
   let's consider the attached file, please.

   Everything should be ok, but I get 

   `initializer element is not constant' error from the compiler.

   Is there a way to work around this, please? [1]

bye bye && thanks!

                     -- gg sullivan

[1]: I cannot/don't want to put these declaration inside some
functions.
