A flexible array member has no size or with the gcc extension has
size 0. Clang also does not warn about these. The array here seems
to have size 1 and I have seen similar cases in the gcc code base
with size 2.

The benefit of cleaning this up would be that you could get proper
warnings for arrays at the end of the struct which are not meant 
to be flexible array members.
