I don't think that __STDC_VERSION__ is required to be defined
Indeed.
unless you have a C99 compiler. If you configure with --std=gnu99,
is __STDC_VERSION__ defined then?
Yes, but requiring C99 globally requires, eh, "a bit of" discussion,
and I don't see the point in doing all the configure hoop-jumping to
be sure that (a) the system actually has the problem and (b) the
relevant standards flags are available to limit it to the case where
it's useful.
Among other things it seems pretty likely that the MacPorts folks (who
regularly use Caterpillar backhoes to make furniture, I hear) will
eventually[1] realize their mistake.
