Me too.  But even gcc 4.x does not fully support c99.  See

http://gcc.gnu.org/c99status.html

What many people really mean by "c99" these days is "the bits of 
c99 that you might reasonably expect a modern compiler to support, 
and never mind the other bits" (which, sadly, is a crap situation 
for a standard to be in, almost a decade on).
