gcc 4.1.2 is giving compilation error with unnamed structure with register const

[Muralidhar]

Hi All,
I have a sample program which is compiling fine in GCC version 3.3.3
on SUSE Linux  with kernel 2.6.5,
but it is giving compilation error in GCC version 4.1.2 with SUSE
Linux kernel 2.6.16

 >>Sample program <<
$ cat exam.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
   register const struct           { short l; unsigned char d[2]; }
vVRCU___I = { 2,"a" };
   register const struct           { short l;          char d[2]; }
vVRC____I = { 2,"a" };

   return 0;
}

$ gcc exam.c --> gcc 4.1.2
exam.c: In function âmainâ:
exam.c:5: error: register name not specified for âvVRC____Iâ
exam.c:4: error: register name not specified for âvVRCU___Iâ
$ gcc --version

This problem has nothing to do with the C++ runtime library. I would
