I suggest we add "-std=c89" to CFLAGS. We could also add a new target 
called buildbot to the Makefile that appends "-std=c89 -Werror" to 
CFLAGS. I don't think it's wise to add "-Werror" to the standard build 
target. However a new build target with extra checks should help to 
detect errors much sooner.
