So, working as expected -- with size == 4 the directory metadata block
pointer calculations will be incorrect, and you'll end up with a corrupt
filesystem.

This sounds like gcc getting confused by the zero length array. Though
it's odd that randconfig breaks, but defconfig doesn't? This sounds
like one of the kernel gcc options causing problems.

Please send the actual .config file produced by randconfig 72f68201...

...and the .config file produced by defconfig, in the hopes that someone
will spot the culprit using differential analysis. Assuming you haven't
done that already.
