Yup, cris is the only platform that throws this error on this
structure. It's an on-disk structure and relying on the gcc
optimiser to do the same thing from release to release has become
such a crap-shoot these days. Hence as a stop-gap measure we added
build time checking of what they compiler is doing with those
structures, and to refuse to build XFS if the compiler/platform is
doing something obviously different.

Modernising the on-disk structure definitions is on the list of
things to do, but it's nowhere near the top of my list at the
moment...

Cheers,

Dave.
