I think that the OP meant to add that line in the (...) that is part of
the definition. Something like this:

#define CAMLxparam1(x) \
  struct caml__roots_block caml__roots_##x; \
  int caml__dummy_##x = ( \
    (caml__roots_##x.next = local_roots), \
    (local_roots = &caml__roots_##x), \
    (caml__roots_##x.nitems = 1), \
    (caml__roots_##x.ntables = 1), \
    (caml__roots_##x.tables [0] = &x), \
    (void) caml__dummy_##x, \
    0)

Amazingly, this seems to "work" as well (work = silence gcc) :

#define CAMLxparam1(x) \
  struct caml__roots_block caml__roots_##x; \
  int caml__dummy_##x = ( \
    (caml__roots_##x.next = local_roots), \
    (local_roots = &caml__roots_##x), \
    (caml__roots_##x.nitems = 1), \
    (caml__roots_##x.ntables = 1), \
    (caml__roots_##x.tables [0] = &x), \
    caml__dummy_##x)
