It seems cobc is not working with gcc-2.95 (or before).  Recently,
I modified the compiler so that it makes use of the address of
compound literals (e.g., &(struct foo){1, 2}), which is valid in
recent gcc.

I have restored the previous code, so check it out and try again.
In the future, I will use the address of compound literals only
when it is supported by the C compiler.
