From what I see, gcc-4.1 (and 4.3) don't consider offsetof as a constant. Should I redefine offsetof as follows? #define offsetof(TYPE, MEMBER) ((size_t) &((TYPE *)0)->MEMBER) Toolchain/gcc-porting teams, please advise.
offsetof is never a constant ... it is commonly a macro that expands to __builtin_offsetof(), but that requires you actually include the proper header file add this to options.c: #include <stddef.h>
Fixed in cvs without revision bump.
