The ISO C Standard (ISO/IEC 9899:1999) is available for only 18 USD either
at ANSI or at TechStreet:

* TechStreet:
<http://www.techstreet.com/cgi-bin/basket?action=add&item_id=2464099>

* ANSI, somewhere in:
<http://webstore.ansi.org/>

All of these are GCC-specific.

Status of C99 support in GCC may be found at:
<http://gcc.gnu.org/c99status.html>

Our mighty gcc maintainer may have other sources (chmou?)

AFAIK, there is no ("fully") C99 compiler available yet. SCO claims to
have one for UnixWare but I don't really know how far they went.
