gcc 1.36 does not seems to be able to compile the following file:

/* -- start of file test.c -- */
typedef union _MyUnion {
	char * str;
	long   uval;
} MyUnion;

typedef struct _MyStruct {
	MyUnion name;
} MyStruct;

MyStruct abc = { 0 };
/* -- end of file test.c -- */


Here is what I got when trying to compile it:

1 paris:mtranle> gcc -c -v test.c
gcc version 1.36
 /usr/local/lib/gcc-cpp -v -undef -D__GNUC__ -Dunix -Di386 -DAIX -D__unix__ -D__i386__ -D__AIX__ test.c /tmp/ccaaafOu.cpp
GNU CPP version 1.36
 /usr/local/lib/gcc-cc1 /tmp/ccaaafOu.cpp -quiet -dumpbase test.c -version -o /tmp/ccaaafOu.s
GNU C version 1.36 (80386, ATT syntax) compiled by GNU C version 1.36.
default target switches: -m80387
test.c:11: type mismatch in initialization

Does anybody knows about a fix or a work around for it ?

Thanks, Tran-Le.
