CFLAGS=-std=c89 causes build failure on kfeebsd

Created attachment 189271 [details] [review] Use CFLAGS=-std=gnu99 d-conf currently fails to build on kfreebsd: https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=d-conf&arch=kfreebsd-amd64&ver=0.7.5-1&stamp=1305703264 The suggested fix in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=629273 is to use CFLAGS = -std=gnu99. Might make sense to use something more modern in any case, even for Linux.
The patch in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=651944 also fixes the build failure on kfreebsd, so I guess this bug can be closed. You can still consider though, to use std=gnu99 as something more modern then c89

I don't think that there is a point in using -std=gnu99 as something "more modern" until we actually need that functionality.
