I want XCB to be able to make use of GCC extensions when they're
available, but I agree that XCB should still compile without warnings
and execute correctly on a strict ANSI C compiler. Or perhaps I mean a
C89 compiler -- is there a difference?

Anyway, I think that's what you meant, in which case I agree with you
wholeheartedly. I've already got -pedantic turned on for the XCB
library. Are you suggesting we should add -std=c89?
