Mainline grub failed to build in PowerPC with the following error:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
That is the code that fails in gpt.c
static const grub_gpt_part_type_t grub_gpt_partition_type_empty =
GRUB_GPT_PARTITION_TYPE_EMPTY;
GRUB_GPT_PARTITION_TYPE_EMPTY is define in include/grub/gpt_partition.h
as
#define GRUB_GPT_PARTITION_TYPE_EMPTY \
{ 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, \
{ 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0 } \
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This code compiles fine in x86, is that a gcc bug? I'm using gcc 4.4.3
