clang should give a clearer error on code that uses gcc's "vla-in-struct"
extension (is there a name for it?):
--
ddun...@milton:gcc$ cat t.c
void f0(int n,...) {
  struct S {
    double          a[n];
  }               s;
  double x = s.a[0];
}
ddun...@milton:gcc$ clang t.c
t.c:3:21: error: fields must have a constant size
    double          a[n];
                    ^
t.c:5:14: error: subscripted value is neither array nor pointer
  double x = s.a[0];
             ^   ~
2 diagnostics generated.

Something like "This gcc extension is not supported, and will hopefully never
be. Change your code you loon." It'd be nice not to get the second error as
well.
