We ran into an c99 issue in nsd and upstream was quite adamant that they
want to keep using c99 stuff. Turned out gcc4 does not support all of
c99 by default so they did some autoconf magic that sprinkled -std=c99
into the compiler invocation when needed. This also worked on gcc3
archs. Which apparently also fully supports c99 if you ask it nicely.
