I meant "non-statically"; sorry.
Please see sited references from DejaNews...
char x[ 4];
char foo[ 4]; /* 4 vs. 16 */
char y[ 4];
initme()
{
x[ 0] = '0';
y[ 3] = '3';
y[ 0] = '0';
y[ 3] = '3';
strncpy( foo, "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", sizeof(foo)-1);
foo[ sizeof(foo)-1] = 0;
}

See "__error undefined" and "sys_errlist[]: conflicting type for decl".
You need to create cases that are not resolved at runtime (like sizeof(),
above).
