Comment:

 Cannot be fixed on Bcp's end.

 sys/sysinfo.h includes kernel.h that defines 'struct sysinfo', which has a
 member 'char _f[20-2*sizeof(long)-sizeof(int)];', which resolves to 'char
 _f[0];' on a 64-bit platform.

 When configure is run, -pedantic-errors is used and then compiling 'char
 _f[0];' fails. This triggers the warning. Fortunately, Bcp is compiled
 without -pedantic-errors, so Bcp still compiles just fine.

 Still, it would be good to find a solution that compiles and runs even
 with -pedantic-errors. sysinfo is used only to find out the amount of free
 memory.
