I've created the 4.7 version of c99status.html and made the 4.7 branch 
manual refer to it instead of the mainline version of the page.  Doc patch 
tested with "make info html pdf".

+<h2>Further notes</h2>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li>cpp has limited support for multibyte character sets.</li>
+
+<li>IEC 60559 is IEEE 754 floating point.  This works if and only if
+the hardware is perfectly compliant, but GCC does not define
+<code>__STDC_IEC_559__</code> or implement the associated standard
+pragmas; nor do some options such as <code>-frounding-math</code> to
+enable the pragmas globally work in all cases (for example, required
+exceptions may not be generated) and contracting expressions (e.g.,
+using fused multiply-add) is not restricted to source-language
+expressions as required by C99.</li>
+
+<li>Compiler support is needed for thorough support of 
<code>math_errhandling</code>; see
+messages <a
+href="http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-hacker/2000-06/msg00008.html";>1</a>,
+<a
+href="http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-hacker/2000-06/msg00014.html";>2</a>,
+<a
+href="http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-hacker/2000-06/msg00015.html";>3</a>
+on this subject to libc-hacker.  The compiler needs to mark its output
+from compilations using <code>-fno-trapping-math</code>
+or <code>-fno-math-errno</code>, possibly using
+the <code>.gnu_attribute</code> mechanism, to indicate that built-in
+function optimizations may have been applied that mean that not all
+calls report error status in a particular way; the static linker
+needs to put this information in executables and shared libraries and
+the C library needs to use it to set <code>math_errhandling</code> at
+startup to a conservatively correct value based on the information
+from the compiler.  There is currently some limited GNU C Library
+support that only conforms as long as the above options are not used
+anywhere in the program.</li>
+
+<li>GCC doesn't have <code>wprintf</code>, <code>wscanf</code> and
+<code>wcsftime</code> format checking support.</li>
+
+<li>GCC does not support the Annex G imaginary types and complex
+multiplication and division have excess overflows at runtime (although
+not beyond those permitted by C99).</li>
+
+<li><code>&lt;stdint.h&gt;</code> is provided by GCC, or fixed where
+the system headers provide a nonconforming version, on some but not
+yet all systems.  On systems where types in this header have been
+defined as <code>char</code>, GCC retains this definition although it
+is not permitted by C99.</li>
+
+<li>Some of the C99 predefined macros represent properties of the
+compiler and library together and so defining them for the whole
+translation unit requires cooperation with the library;
+a <a href="http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2009-04/msg00005.html";>GNU
+C Library patch</a> for this is pending review.</li>
+
+<li><code>const</code>-qualified compound literals could share storage
+with each other and with string literals, but currently don't.</li>
+
+<li>The information provided by <code>static</code> in parameter array
+declarators is not used for optimization.  It might make sense to use
+it in future in conjunction with <a href="../projects/prefetch.html">work
+on prefetching</a>.</li>
+
+<li>The list above differs from that in N1256 as follows:
+"LIA compatibility annex" is removed, since it refers to C99's
+conformance to another standard rather than something for C
+implementations to do.  The <code>&lt;stdint.h&gt;</code> and
+<code>&lt;inttypes.h&gt;</code> entries have been separated, but are a
+single entry in C99.</li>
