Thanks for the details.
For the record, I'm sending this to bug-gnulib, so others know, too.

OK, I have:
configure:20647: cc -c -g conftest.c >&5
cfe: Warning 807: conftest.c, line 185: member cannot be of function
or incomple
te type.
struct s { int n; double d[]; };
-----------------------------^
configure:20653: $? = 0
configure:20668: result: yes
looks like the SGI IDO cc reports back "no problems" despite of the
failure to compile the code.
When configuring with
env ac_cv_c_flexmember=no GREP=/usr/sbin/grep ./configure --prefix=/
usr/local
the same problem occurs during compiling.
Please let me know which further information I could provide to track
down the issue.
Thanks.
