Actually, they seem to work -- the problem is that -std=gnu89 is
already the standard, but was changed in GCC 3.0
to allow declarations of variables in the middle of code (which
are, in this context, a 'GNU extension' borrowed
from c99).
I think what we want is
-Wdeclaration-after-statement
The problems are:
* not sure if that flag is available with GCC 2.95 -- need to
check what happens if you use it with GCC 2.95
* it generates a warning, not an error
Anyway, I'll add that flag to the core libs.
Thanks
