The SGI MIPS Compiler v6.2 on IRIX 6.2 compiles, but with a warning.
Later MIPSPro 7.2 and 7.4 versions (on 6.5) are OK (silent)
Unfortunately IBM VisualAge C 5.0 (I have 5.0.2) on AIX 5.1 fails to
compile with a trailing comma.
IBM XLC V10.1 (I have one on AIX 6.1) is OK (silent)
Native compiler on Tru64 V5.1 is OK (silent)

So, from the boxes I have access to the IBM XLC V5 version is the one
which has a problem.
