git-compat-util.h: avoid using c99 flex array feature with Sun compiler 5.8
The Sun c99 compiler as recent as version 5.8 Patch 121016-06 2007/08/01
produces an error when compiling diff-delta.c. This source file #includes
the delta.h header file which pre-declares a struct which is later defined
to contain a flex array member. The Sun c99 compiler fails to compile
diff-delta.c and gives the following error:
"diff-delta.c", line 314: identifier redeclared: create_delta
current : function(pointer to const struct delta_index {unsigned long memsize, pointer to const void src_buf, unsigned long src_size, unsigned int hash_mask, array[-1] of pointer to struct index_entry {..} hash}, pointer to const void, unsigned long, pointer to unsigned long, unsigned long) returning pointer to void
previous: function(pointer to const struct delta_index {unsigned long memsize, pointer to const void src_buf, unsigned long src_size, unsigned int hash_mask, array[-1] of pointer to struct index_entry {..} hash}, pointer to const void, unsigned long, pointer to unsigned long, unsigned long) returning pointer to void : "delta.h", line 44
c99: acomp failed for diff-delta.c
So, avoid using this c99 feature when compiling with the Sun c compilers
version 5.8 and older (the most recent version tested).
