Bart compared gcc 10 vs. gcc 14.  gcc 10 defaults to -std=gnu11 (C11
with gcc extensions).  gcc14 defaults to -std=gnu17.  There were no
major changes between C11 and C17, only technical corrections and
clarifications.  Any changes in gcc's behavior for bart's test program
were the result of decisions by the gcc maintainers, not changes in the
C standard.
