Remove initialization function for variable-length struct

Browse source 
Assigning the return value of a function that returns a struct with a
flexible array member does not fill the flexible array member, which leaves
a gap in the initialization that could be surprising to programmers. Also,
this is a borderline case in ABI design which could cause interoperability
problems. So remove this function.

This gets rid of an annoying note from GCC about ABI compatibility on
(at least) x86_64.
