It's an iBook, so some version of OS X I would guess. From a little searching online, 10.2 was the last release in 2002, and it seems that it may have included GCC 3.3. GCC 3.3 did not fully support C99 (as its release notes indicated "A few more ISO C99 features now work correctly." Of course, things could have been upgraded in which case this is all moot.
I appreciate the desire to be using as modern of a toolset as possible. Basing source on "ANSI C" (as much as possible) just gives you the biggest possible distribution / compatibility. Not that you can just ignore other issues, of course, but given that a fix for this issue has already been committed, and allows the code to work with both C89 & C99, the original report is no longer a consideration.
