We'd like to compile QEMU with -std=gnu99, but GCC 4.8 currently fails to compile qemu-seccomp.c in this mode:
qemu-seccomp.c:45:1: error: initializer element is not constant }; ^ qemu-seccomp.c:45:1: error: (near initialization for ‘sched_setscheduler_arg[0]’) This is due to a compiler bug which has just been fixed in GCC 5.0: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=63567 Since we still want to support GCC 4.8 for a while and also want to use gnu99 mode, work-around the issue by expanding the macro manually.
