Which array is that? testcases[]? If so, we could keep if fairly nice
by doing the array population at runtime. Something like:

static struct testcase *testcases;

static void init_thing()
{
struct testcase t[] = {
...
};

testcases = malloc(sizeof(t));
memcpy(testcases, t, sizeof(t));
}

This seems rather lame :(. It would be nice to fix this for once and
for all.
