That does sound like a bug.

What are you aiming at doing with a linked-list in romcc compiled code?
To the best of my knowledge linked lists in static constant data
structures aren't particularly useful.  Or is this just from a header
you want to share with romcc code and gcc compiled code and this
structure just happens to be in there.   I'm asking because I get the
sense that you are trying to do something that has easier solutions
than to fix romcc.
