Build fails in fresh docker build on branch openocd-cubeide-r4 or tag openocd-cubeide-v1.8.0 or later.
Tag openocd-cubeide-v1.7.0 and branch openocd-cubeide-r3 build fine.

I encountered the same issue. I simply initialized the misc_items to 0 and passed the compilation.

Thanks @etienz and @XiaZhouZero for reporting this.
It seems that we are building using a difference GCC version that's why we have not encountered the same issue as you.

could you please share with us the GCC version you are using, so we can fix this in the official openocd gerrit

[XiaZhouZero]

I'm using the GCC 9.4.0 (Ubuntu 9.4.0-1ubuntu1~20.04.1) @tarek-bochkati
