IIRC "run-time" structure initialization is a GCC-ism... on IRIX 6.2:

int foo = 1;

int main() {
        struct bar {
                int aga;
        } norman = { foo };

        return 0;
}

% cc -n32 -c foo.c
"foo.c", line 7: error(1028): expression must have a constant value
        } norman = { foo };
