'static' in array-size func parm

[Thien-Thi Nguyen]

I recently learned that GCC 3.4.3 on Solaris 10 cannot compile:

 int
 last (int count, int all[static count])
 {
   return all[count - 1];
 }

(valid C99, AFAIU), and have changed GNU RCS to work around the
situation, in the form of a configure-time test[0], a simple cpp
macro[1], and then various uses[2] of the macro.

Would this stuff (appropriately massaged) be interesting to gnulib?
