It builds without warnings using 'gcc -std=c89' but fails if I add
'-pedantic':

../src/subversion/libsvn_subr/errorcode.inc:6:18: warning: ISO C forbids empty initializer braces [-Wpedantic]
 } svn__errno[] = {
                  ^
../src/subversion/libsvn_subr/errorcode.inc:6:3: error: zero or negative size array ‘svn__errno’
 } svn__errno[] = {
   ^~~~~~~~~~

I suppose I could insert a dummy entry for zero. The code that uses the
array will never look for zero since there is an earlier return.
