It would be great if in the next year, AC_PROG_CC could default to using a C99 compiler. Since it should be backward-compatible with C89 (??), this shouldn't be required, but I would really like to see C99 as the default, with some means of choosing an older standard if so required.
Do you have a purpose for using C99 other than to intentionally write non-portable software?
Is C99 really 100% upward compatible with the previous version of the standard, or is it possibly more strict and include type changes which might impact library ABIs?
