- Avoid using designated initializers (or even ordinary initializers)
- in a way that provokes a bug in IBM XL C for AIX 16.1 (2018).
- IBM says they will support this old compiler through April 2026
- with extended support through April 2029.
+ Avoid using C99 style designated (or even ordinary) initializers
+ in a way that does not work on IBM XL C for AIX 12.1 (2012).
+ These initializers were not supported until 13.1 (2014).
+ Although IBM's extended support for 12.1 ended in April 2023,
+ I installed this patch when I mistakenly thought I was testing with
+ IBM XL C for AIX 16.1 (2018), which does support these initializers.
+ Although in hindsight this patch was not needed, it shouldn’t hurt.
+ Since the affected code is intended for older systems anyway,
+ I guess it’s OK to keep the patch.

@c IRIX 6.5 cc has no option for C99 support. You would need to use gcc
instead.
