Unfortunately, I don't have such an universal CFLAGS.

With gcc-4.8 the default CFLAGS is sufficient:

  $ make V=1 CC=gcc-4.8 protocol.o
  gcc-4.8 -o protocol.o -c -MF ./.depend/protocol.o.d -MQ protocol.o -MMD -MP  
-g -O2 -Wall -I. -DHAVE_SYSINFO -DGIT_HOST_CPU="\"x86_64\"" -DHAVE_ALLOCA_H 
-DUSE_CURL_FOR_IMAP_SEND -DSHA1_DC -DSHA1DC_NO_STANDARD_INCLUDES 
-DSHA1DC_INIT_SAFE_HASH_DEFAULT=0 -DSHA1DC_CUSTOM_INCLUDE_SHA1_C="\"cache.h\"" 
-DSHA1DC_CUSTOM_INCLUDE_UBC_CHECK_C="\"git-compat-util.h\""  -DHAVE_PATHS_H 
-DHAVE_DEV_TTY -DHAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME -DHAVE_CLOCK_MONOTONIC -DHAVE_GETDELIM 
'-DPROCFS_EXECUTABLE_PATH="/proc/self/exe"'  -DFREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES 
-DNO_STRLCPY -DSHELL_PATH='"/bin/sh"' -DPAGER_ENV='"LESS=FRX LV=-c"'  protocol.c

I couldn't get this error with any newer GCC or Clang, and using
options like -std=c89 trigger many other errors as well, just like you
mentioned.
