Please open a bug report: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/

But your chances of getting this implemented without doing it yourself
are pretty small. Unfortunately, there are very few people working on
the C FE right now, and the initializers code is probably one of the
oldest and most obscure parts of the C FE.

You may be lucky and the solution might be trivial, but first you
would need to follow the code in a debugger and figure out where in
the C FE this could be detected.

Cheers,

Manuel.
