OK, with an appropriate change to the comment above the 
c_parser_postfix_expression function to say that compound literals are not 
handled here and callers have to call 
c_parser_postfix_expression_after_paren_type on encountering them.  (I've 
reviewed all paths to c_parser_postfix_expression in the current parser 
and don't think any of them can send compound literals to it, because 
either they are parsing a specific more restricted syntax incompatible 
with compond literals (OMP cases), are parsing an expression that might be 
a cast expression so need to parse the (type) first to distinguish, or are 
parsing a context such as sizeof where a parenthesized type name is 
allowed as well as a postfix expression and again need to parse the (type) 
first to distinguish.)
