No, the differences are far greater. Try compiling the following
program in gnu89 mode:
void *restrict p;
int main(void) { for (int i =3D 0; i < 1; ++i) continue; }
Right off the bat, I can't think of a language construct that is legal
in gnu99 but not in c99, but I'm sure they exist.
BTW, the definition of gnu89 has changed over time. I believe that
early versions of gcc 3 would accept the following:
int main(void) { for (int i =3D 0; i < 1; ++i) continue; return i; }
