Which array is that?  testcases[]?  If so, we could keep if fairly nice
by doing the array population at runtime.  Something like:

static struct testcase *testcases;

static void init_thing()
{
	struct testcase t[] = {
		...
	};

	testcases = malloc(sizeof(t));
	memcpy(testcases, t, sizeof(t));
}

This seems rather lame :(.  It would be nice to fix this for once and
for all.
