I use -ansi for its other features. Maybe all that's needed is for
AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS to #undef __STRICT_ANSI__? I think this is
logical, but I lack the experience to say whether it breaks things.
I looked at lib/autoconf/specific.m4 and read the manual on Autoheader
macros, and it seems like this isn't easy. We want:
#ifdef __STRICT_ANSI__
# undef __STRICT_ANSI__
#endif
to be generated in config.h (or rather, I claim that we want that), but
any #undef in config.h gets either turned into a #define or commented out!
`Currently, _all_ remaining `#undef' lines in the header template are
commented out, whether or not there was a corresponding `AC_DEFINE' for
the macro name; but this behavior is not guaranteed for future releases
of Autoconf.'
Can it be done safely with a call to AH_BOTTOM inside
AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS?
