Zero-sized arrays are non-standard, but have been allowed by gcc (and
many other compilers) since a long time, so it is logical that it
doesn't warn about it by default.

Maybe you can try compiling it with gcc 4.3.x; I have received several
"array subscript is above array bounds" warnings using it.  However,
it's GPL3, which might open up several cans of worms...
