Summary: check_ide_smart.c won't build with gcc 2.96

Initial Comment:
check_ide_smart.c fails to build with gcc 2.96 raising this error:

check_ide_smart.c: In function `main':
check_ide_smart.c:164: parse error before `static'
check_ide_smart.c:182: `longopts' undeclared (first use in this function)
check_ide_smart.c:182: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
check_ide_smart.c:182: for each function it appears in.)

(This particular build was configured without --enable-extra-opts, but I beleive this won't change anything, see below.)

As it seems, the failing piece of code assumes the compiler supports C99, that is, allows to mix initializations with declarations, which gcc 2.96 doesn't.
The attached patch trivially fixes this problem by moving the code which performs initialization after the declaration of a static struct data.
