Sorry for the late reply.
I hadn't seen this old discussion but I vaguely remember 2 emails about
this problem, probaly on lkml, without a real discussion, but where the
opinion was the opposite.
Personally, I prefer '= { }' but yes it's not legit and it seems that
some compilers don't like it. I'll be glad to add an option to Sparse
to shut up the warnings now given by '{ 0 }'.
