Huh.  Can I ask what specific need is driving that?  As you point out, you’ve 
got clang and you’ve also got the blocks support from Apple gcc back-ported, so 
that covers all the architectures you could possibly want to generate code for. 
 Wanting to hold base to some retro K&R standard for its own sake seems… weird… 
so I must be missing some part of the need statement, hence my question?

Thanks,
