The GCC 2.95.3-based compiler that ships with NetBSD does not have C99 
support.

No, it has not been forgotten.  It will be closed when GCC 3.3 is 
imported into the NetBSD source tree.

Yes, but it is not installed, because the compiler does not support the 
type primitive used by stdbool.h.

If you want a C99 environment, for now you can download and install GCC 
3.2.1 from the FSF.  Note that GCC 3.2-branch does not work on all 
NetBSD platforms.  GCC 3.3 will work out of the box on almost all 
NetBSD platforms.
