Bruce wants a solution where time stopped in late 1989 or early 1990.
You want a solution which will break everything that isn't c99-ready
yet.  I suggested a solution which will allow those parts of the tree
which we know are safe to take advantage of GCC's c99 support without
breaking the rest of the tree.  This is generally known as "mechanism,
not policy".

I don't suppose you've tried to build world with -std=c99 in CFLAGS?
I have.  It doesn't work.
