Deja-vu...

Thanks for this test case. This definitely destroys the idea to fix this in stor-layout.c

I think that is common practice to write array[1]; at the end of the structure,
and use it as a flexible array. The compute_record_mode has no way to
decide if that is going to be a flexible array or not.

Sorry Eric, but now I have no other choice than to go back to my previous version
of part 2:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-10/msg00222.html

I'd just add Martin's new test case as 57748-4.c.
