Not a bug, just a gcc gotcha. -std=FOO doesn't mean "reject programs
that don't conform to FOO", it means "accept ALL programs that DO
conform to FOO". Eg, if you have a program that uses "inline" or "asm"
as a variable name, you'll need to use -std=c89/-ansi to compile it, to
tell gcc to not interpret those as GNU C keywords.
