I don't think this will work on a 64bit kernel with 32 bit userspace...
although I'm low on caffeine I could be imagining.

If memory serves me right, I've mentioned earlier that using zero sized
arrays might not be so good considering portability and using non GCC
compilers.

I believe your consern was about that using a pointer is inefficient.
Can you provide some references/hints how is that so ?
