Hello all,

It turns out Netgraph uses a language construct that is only allowed
with GCC, but not with LLVM. According to the specs, LLVM's behaviour is
correct. It is not allowed to do this:

	struct a {
		struct {
			int i;
			char j[];
		} b;
		char k[20];
	};

error: variable sized type 'b' must be at end of struct or class

Diane Bruce and I thought this patch should solve this issue:

	http://80386.nl/pub/ng.diff

Yes, I know, the solution isn't really elegant, but I think this is the
only way to do this safely. Diane and I also compared the output of
objdump and they seem to be equivalent, except for some reordering.

Objections before I commit this to SVN?
