initializer element is not constant

since glibc 2.1, file pointers to things like stdin, stdout, stderr, etc.
don't seem to work anymore (in some situations).

for example, in ash (mknodes.c:92) there is the line:

FILE *infp = stdin;

and the gcc error is:

mknodes.c:92: initializer element is not constant

to fix it, ive just changed all the infp usages to stdin. but what's the
real fix?

matt.
