 The autoconfigure script checks for gcc >= 2. When using such a compiler
 on Red Hat 7.3, gcc-2.96, I get a number of C89 errors.

 Stated on
 http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/Rts/Conventions, C99
 standard is used so my compiler is too old?

 Should the gcc requirement be updated or just check for C99 compliance.
