In fact, it breaks on the OS/390 platform. -D_ALL_SOURCE is necessary to
mend it. But I still feel more comfortable with ANSI C (c89) than with
K&R C (cc). (OS/390 makes them aliases for the same executable with
different options.) Besides, the MKS OS/390 enhanced AC_PROG_CC prefers
c89 to cc, so I should be prepared to deal with c89.
