...only because I haven't tried to build anything modern :-). I'm still 
stuck with quite a few systems that (unless their compilers got updated 
when I wasn't looking, which seems unlikely) don't grok C99, I just 
haven't been trying to keep their toolchains up-to-date.

But if I'm the only one, I guess you're okay until/unless I find time to 
do updates again.
