Who knew??? So I took a look at  man cc  and also found
-std=gnu99 which also works. Weirdly, though, -std=c99,
which seems equivalent as described on the manpage,
emits about a dozen new warnings, including some
"obviously wrong" (meaning they could be right?) ones
like "implicit declaration of function 'popen'", even
though stdio.h is included. (Note: I haven't actually
tested the executable images created using either switch,
and certainly not looked for any differences in the
generated instructions.)
