Hello,
We have been building Strongswan for a while and our last version we compiled successfully was 5.9.4.
We have tried to compile version 5.9.8 and we are getting these errors when compiling:

libtool: compile:  gcc -std=gnu11 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../../src/libstrongswan -DIPSEC_DIR=\"/usr/local/libexec/ipsec\" -DIPSEC_LIB_DIR=\"/usr/local/lib/ipsec\" -DPLUGINDIR=\"/usr/local/lib/ipsec/plugins\" -DSTRONGSWAN_CONF=\"/usr/local/etc/strongswan.conf\" -Wno-format -Wno-format-security -Wno-implicit-fallthrough -Wno-missing-field-initializers -Wno-pointer-sign -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-type-limits -Wno-unused-parameter -g -O2 -include /code/strongswan-5.9.8/config.h -MT asn1/asn1.lo -MD -MP -MF asn1/.deps/asn1.Tpo -c asn1/asn1.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o asn1/.libs/asn1.o
asn1/asn1.c:32:1: error: initializer element is not constant
asn1/asn1.c:33:1: error: initializer element is not constant
asn1/asn1.c:34:1: error: initializer element is not constant


Our configure is pretty simple (with no errors):
./configure --enable-openssl --enable-eap-identity --enable-eap-mschapv2

our gcc --version is:
gcc (Linaro GCC 4.7-2013.02-01) 4.7.3 20130205

I assume it's the gcc version the is causing out trouble (which would be troublesome to update), but the configure didn't complain and was wondering what the minimum version is needed.

Thanks
