Well, my response is "no".  I could see saying that we require (some) C99
features at this point, but not features that are in no standard, no
matter how popular gcc might be.

This just means we don't have a wide enough collection of non-mainstream
machines in the buildfarm.  Deciding to break any platform with a
non-gcc-equivalent compiler isn't going to improve that.
