What's the bug here? Should the error mesage be clearer, maybe somthing like "Initializer element is not a constant expression"?

Even gcc 4.x gives the simliar error:

S.c:2: error: initializer element is not constant

In reversion #9197, error 129 is eliminated and only error 2 rises.

sdcc S.c -c
S.c:2: error 2: Initializer element is not constant

sdcc -v
