Correct: It is ok if it breaks if the system does not have all C89
features. Lack of some C99 features is ok.

(Notice that this is slightly different from "insists on conformance
with C89": A C99 implementation is not strictly conforming with C89,
e.g. because the value of the __STDC__ macro is different. However,
a C99 implementation will support all C89 features).
