And -std=gnu99 is a better match for that goal than the default
-std=gnu89.

And the only alternative closer to standard C than -std=gnu99, -std=c99,
is not easily usable.

In the context of this discussion I interpreted you to mean something
relevant to the use of the -std option, and explained that there is no
easily usable alternative which would be a better match for that goal
than using -std=gnu99 (-std=c99 being the obvious potential
alternative).

Did you just randomly mention that without trying to say anything
relevant to the use of the -std option?

I interpreted them the same way. We want C99 instead of C89; -std=gnu99
achieves that goal. We want to use standard C99 instead of GNU
extensions in most cases; -std=gnu99 is still the best choice because
the only alternative that would be closer to standard C, -std=c99, is
not easily usable.

I think it's you who misinterpreted my interpretation :)
