GCC 11 treats [1] as a fixed-length array and not a flexible-length
array, and so some things that used direct strcmp("..", ent->d_name),
for instance, would be optimized out as being always unequal,
which was the cause of #17389. Using a real FLA informs GCC that
there is going to be more than one byte of data, and thus this
fixes that bug.
BeOS used [1] and not [0], possibly because it had to deal with
compilers (MetroWerks? Early GCC2?) that did not support FLAs.
GCC 2.95 does, using [0], and GCC 4 does, using [], so we can go
with that here.
(I did try using [0] for both, which seems to be OK with GCC 11,
but GCC 8 throws errors when d_name is dereferenced directly
as being-out-of-bounds. So, we have to use the #if here and give
newer GCC the [] syntax and not [0] to avoid that problem.)
The real question probably is whether or not we should backport
some variant of these changes to R1/beta3, as software at HaikuPorts
very well may run in to the same issue. (The alternative workaround
is to compile with -O1 and not -O2 for any affected software.) But
maybe this is an argument for keeping with the beta4 schedule of
this coming January...
Doesn't do anything ATM, but already provides the required system
interface (VFS, caches, POSIX functions).
