For reasons totally beyond my understanding, gcc 8 changed the
order of two structure member, which leads to an error:

  HOSTCXX -fPIC scripts/gcc-plugins/latent_entropy_plugin.o
scripts/gcc-plugins/latent_entropy_plugin.c:269:1: error: designator order for field 'attribute_spec::affects_type_identity' does not match declaration order in 'attribute_spec'
 };
 ^
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.host:141: scripts/gcc-plugins/latent_entropy_plugin.o] Error 1

Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll undo that change before official release, so all
this ad-crock #ifdef-ery won't be needed.  Do we know any gcc experts to ask?

I'm a little late on this, but isn't the whole point of C99 initializers
that field order should not matter at all?

For C99, this is true. The plugins are built differently and follow
C++ conventions, which, for reasons I cannot understand, are ordered.
:( Regardless, the fix actually results in fewer lines of code, so
this is fine.
