The C99 spec is more than a decade old now.  Anybody who hasn't caught up yet 
isn't going to because their build environment is dead and buried.  (Even 
Tinycc is C99 compliant, except for complex types and vararrays.  But that's a 
matter of being incomplete rather than noncompliant.)

It might be interesting to build uClibc with pcc or llvm/clang someday, but 
neither compiler strikes me as entirely ripe yet...
