I got further.  It looks like another unnamed struct:

cc -DASK_BOOT=3 -DBOOT_FIRST=BOOT_NIC -DALLOW_ONLY_ENCAPSULATED 
-DBACKOFF_LIMIT=7 -DCONGESTED -DPXE_IMAGE -DPXE_EXPORT -DPCBIOS

-falign-loops=1 -falign-functions=1 -I include -I arch/i386/include -I . 
-DARCH=i386 -Os -ffreestanding -Wall -W -Wno-format  -DVERSION_MAJOR=5 
-DVERSION_MINOR=5 -DVERSION=\"5.5.0\"  -include compiler.h 
-DOBJECT=basemem -c arch/i386/firmware/pcbios/basemem.c -o bin/basemem.o
