Flexible size array

Is the following program conforming under C99?

#include <stdio.h>

typedef struct foo {
int bar;
int baz[];
} foo;

foo foos[]={
{ 1, {1,2,3} }
};

int main() {
return 0;
}

gcc -Wall -pedantic -std=c99 (3.3.3 for cygwin) accepts the program
without the declaration for the array of foo structs, but issues an
error about "initialization of a flexible array member in a nested
context" on the program above. Is it correct?
