That's the half of a C99 compiler.

I forgot about -stable.  s/until we have several C99 compilers/until C99
compilers are so normal that -stable has a choice of several of them/

TenDRA is only C90 AFAIK, and the others aren't free or routinely used
for FreeBSD development.

I prefer to avoid such messes by using only the fallback case.  It does
set a good example by not passing __FILE__ and __LINE__ (it passes
__func__ instead).  Anyway, not passing any of these and using debugging
info works better.
