You had me for a moment. But at least Debians gcc 2.95.4 does not fail
too badly:

joern at Limerick:~/foo$ cat foo.c
struct foo {
        int bar;
        int baz;
};

struct foo fufu = {
        .bar = 0,
        .baz = 0
};
joern at Limerick:~/foo$ gcc --version
2.95.4
joern at Limerick:~/foo$ gcc -c foo.c
joern at Limerick:~/foo$ ls
foo.c  foo.o
joern at Limerick:~/foo$  

What compiler do you have that breaks with C99 initializers?
