[Bug c/32588] New: Bogus "error: initializer element is not constant"

[bero at arklinux dot org]

The following code (extracted from ffmpeg) produces "error: initializer element
is not constant":

typedef struct {
    int num;
    int den;
} AVRational;

static AVRational frame_rate = (AVRational) {25,1};

Replacing the last line with plain

static AVRational frame_rate = {25,1};

fixes it -- but shouldn't those lines be identical? They produced identical
code (and no warnings) with older gccs.
