I wasn't able to reproduce this on x86 or Arm, with either Clang or GCC.

That was with this patch applied onto 999b81b907e on tmp.perf-tools-next
and a pretty normal "make WERROR=1" command.

It seems like the 0 here is just to get the type rather than access
anything, if that's the 0 that the "array subscript 0" error is about,
so something seems a bit strange:

error: array subscript 0 is outside array bounds of ‘struct
list_head[1]’ [-Werror=array-bounds]
