The sources aren't broken. An old *compiler* is broken. "-ansi" tells
gcc to act like an ISO C90 compiler.

However, there should be no need to compile anything with -ansi though
-- it does not break programs to build them without turning off
C99. Is there a reason configure for firefox is insisting on -ansi???

If this is a widespread problem I can revert it very easily but I'm
not sure why one would compile with -ansi except in specialized cases,
such as if one wanted to catch things that would break older
compilers...
