I should expect that to fail altogether on 32-bit machines, because
the declared array size will be zero.
You could try something like
typedef struct BrinSpecialSpace
{
uint16 vector[MAXALIGN(1) / sizeof(uint16)];
} BrinSpecialSpace;
and then some access macros to use the last and next-to-last
elements of that array.
