The compiler on IA64/HP-UX (aCC: HP aC++/ANSI C B3910B A.05.50 [May 15 2003])
refuses to compile this code and gives this error message:

  Error 271: "x.c", line 1 # Illegal initializer.
      char a[] = ("x");
                 ^^^^^

It would be good if GCC always gave a warning (or even an error) if this
code is illegal according to ANSI C, to warn people that this code will fail
to compile on other compilers.
