Some more interesting information:

I can reproduce the problem with something as simple as this:

main.c:
const int const1 = 10;
const int const2 = 11;

int arr[] = {
	const1,
	const2
};

$ gcc main.c
main.c:5: error: initializer element is not constant
main.c:5: error: (near initialization for ?arr[0]?)
main.c:7: error: initializer element is not constant
main.c:7: error: (near initialization for ?arr[1]?)


The ARM compiler RVCT happily compiles this without an issue. GCC and
Visual C++ compilers fail!

As a result, I will have to do something like this to populate my
array:

static unsigned int *const reg_arr[] = {
	&(((struct my_regs_struct *const)OMAP4_PRCM_REG_BASE)->uart_clkctrl),
	&(((struct my_regs_struct *const)OMAP4_PRCM_REG_BASE)->i2c_clkctrl),
};

Is this acceptable?

best regards,
Aneesh
