It turned into a discussion of proper use of ANSI STANDARD "C" versus
using compiler-specific extensions which undermine the portability of
"portable" code. This is VERY important to gtk, and I think it is
important to increase awareness of these issues.

Just because gtk compiles fine with your compiler doesn't mean it's not
a problem.
