I don't doubt this. But as long as you know what standard you do use,
you know exactly the delta between C99 and C89, and you have two ways:
whether providing a C99 "emulation" to insert between your sources and
the C89 framework (this is the way I would do it with RISK); or add C99
support to pcc...

As long as you know exactly what you do use, a solution is always at
hand.

When one is already beating around the bush in one's code, it is almost
hopeless...
