Since GCC doesn't have any code that does (A), (B), or (C) it doesn't place a burden on GCC to require it to do (B). That's sufficient to answer the techinical issue at hand. While that implies GCC doesn't conform, I said so explictly because Paul Eggert said that c99 is often implemented using GCC.
