Heh. Pure C99 code (with no GNU extensions or OS specific stuff whatsoever) doesn't compile with pcc unless you avoid some of the really useful features and some of the standard headers. I can quote the C99 standard if you doubt this. I have successfully avoided using autoconf and similar stuff in my projects by adhering to strict C99, but in an ironic twist of fate, Plan 9 will be the OS that forces me to use something like autoconf due to the limited C99 support.
