hi!

Please review: https://code.illumos.org/c/illumos-gate/+/3353

Now, as the cleanups are done, we can turn the switch.

thanks,

It is important that both libc and libm do not get values-* objects
indicating c99, or XPG versions.
Be sure to double check this didn't happen, when you're testing. :)

FYI C99 is almost "legacy" (same level as K&R), while Linux approches
full C17 (sort of fixed C11) support.

Why not make C17 the default?

Of course we can. 

It means, work needs to be done to make it happen, and someone needs to step up. 

I did pick up C11 because we already have kernel build defaulting to C11 and we have clean userland *build* with C11 enabled. So the stepping stone is prepared, and it is up to developers, where we will step from there.
