I remember that I agreed with the stance of abandoning support for the
older tools. Therefore I am quite happy for there to be no support for
versions of GCC which don't support C99.

So, until I upgrade my devel Linux box (there's no timescale for that
I'm afraid :-) ) I won't be able to test the linux build environment :-(
