Because it is a compiler bug.  Try to compile (but not link) the 
attached file.  Here's what I get on AIX 7.1 with xlc 12.1 and GCC 4.8.1.

$ gcc -c xlcbug1.c
$ xlc -c xlcbug1.c
"xlcbug1.c", line 22.39: 1506-045 (S) Undeclared identifier 
GL_FLT_PREC_BOUND.
"xlcbug1.c", line 22.23: 1506-1324 (S) Array size must have integer type.

There's nothing wrong with the program.  The identifier is properly 
declared.

They're from Gnulib, but that's irrelevant to the compiler bug, as the 
attached file demonstrates.
