Error message is...
  gcc_seg_fault.c:14: internal error: Segmentation fault
  Please submit a full bug report...

The following illegal code caused a segfault instead of being flagged as an illegal structure initializer.  Of course I stripped this down and changed the data and identifier names from my original code :).

There are actually two errors in my code which I suppose "aligned" to trigger the segfault.

Here is the code...

// gcc_seg_fault.c

typedef struct {
    int aaa;
} s1_t;

typedef struct {
    int bbb;
    s1_t s1_array[];  // <-- oops, array has no size
} s2_t;

static s2_t s2_array[]= {
    { 1, 4}, // <-- 4 should really be inside { }
    { 2, 5},
    { 3, 6}
};

The following code does work...

// gcc_ok1.c

typedef struct {
    int aaa;
} s1_t;

typedef struct {
    int bbb;
    s1_t s1_array[]; 
} s2_t;

static s2_t s2_array[]= {
    { 1, {4}},
    { 2, {5}},
    { 3, {6}}
};

and this works also...

// gcc_ok2.c

typedef struct {
    int aaa;
} s1_t;

typedef struct {
    int bbb;
    s1_t s1_array[2];
} s2_t;

static s2_t s2_array[]= {
    { 1, 4},  
    { 2, 5},  
    { 3, 6}  
};
