Well, my response is "no". I could see saying that we require (some) C99
features at this point, but not features that are in no standard, no

This just means we don't have a wide enough collection of non-mainstream
machines in the buildfarm. Deciding to break any platform with a
non-gcc-equivalent compiler isn't going to improve that.
