libesmtp configure failure - gcc 2.95 survival

[Manuel Clos <llanero eresmas net>]

Hi all,

libesmtp fails in the configure stage. As the config.log reveals, it is 
asking for -std=c99 which after asking in #gnome, gcc-2.95 does not support.

Should libesmtp be patched to work with gcc-2.95? should libesmtp be 
removed from garnome? or should garnome drop gcc-2.95 support?

Here is the end of config.log:

int main() {
lt_dlsym()
; return 0; }
configure:5612: cc -o conftest -std=c99 -pedantic 
-I/gnome/gnome-2.3.1/include -I/usr/X11R6/include
-L/gnome/gnome-2.3.1/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -O2 -pipe 
-I/gnome/gnome-2.3.1/include -I/usr/X11R6/include 
-L/gnome/gnome-2.3.1/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib conftest.c -lltdl   1>&5
cc1: unknown C standard `c99'
configure: failed program was:
#line 5601 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
/* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error.  */
/* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
    builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply.  */
char lt_dlsym();

int main() {
lt_dlsym()
; return 0; }
