As others have noted, the immediate fix is to use a null statement.

It is worth pointing out that what is "deprecated" here is actually
a GNUC extension -- the syntax above has always been invalid in
ANSI C. The GCC folks decided to allow it, and have now decided
to stop allowing it.

For those who want to find one, there is a moral in here about
depending on compiler-specific extensions. :-)
