As Ard pointed out first, it is not a legitimate error, it is a spurious 
error. The fact that you seemingly didn't get the label errors above, 
nor even "ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code 
[-Wdeclaration-after-statement]", implies that GCC 12 currently has a 
completely broken notion of declarations vs. statements with that option 
enabled, so GCC 12 needs fixing.
