That's not really true any longer.  For example, gcc and clang are
pretty much up to date with C11.  (glibc, the library most commonly used
with those compilers, doesn't implement <threads.h>, but that's optional
anyway.)

If you need to use Microsoft's C compiler there are likely to be some
issues (last I heard it only had partial C99 support), but otherwise
you're probably reasonably safe using C99 or even C11.  (There's
something going on with Visual Studio shipping with clang, but I don't
know the details.)
