Am I the only one who finds it really annoying that gcc/glibc chooses
to be "broken by default" and requires special options to conform to
modern standards? It should be legacy applications which conflict with
standards that need the special CFLAGS, not modern correct apps. Are
developers of C99 apps expected to provide custom CFLAGS for each
combination of compiler and libc?? This is O(k*n*m) where k is the
number of apps, n is the number of compilers, and m is the number of
libcs...

Does posix getconf(1) work for getting the correct CFLAGS? Or do we
need to hard-code this brain damage in configure?
