It's not the purpose of this macro to make the header files and libraries
ANSI compliant. That's what the rest of Autoconf is for. :)

>From what I gather -std1 is a proper subset of -std. If your system is
different, we'd have to test for it. The problem is that -std1 disables
common extensions, which is not the purpose of this macro. The user can
decide that for himself.
