Yes, go for it.

There are unfortunately some other high impact packages that will
need a similar fix. The ones I still have uncommitted are:
pkg_install-info, bash, readline and ncurses. ncurses it looks like
will be fixed in the next release. Still investigating what to do about
the others.

I'll note the use case we're discussing is different from how we
traditionally have used the -std= option. Normally we use it to require
a newer standard which sometimes implies depending a newer compiler
package. Requiring a older standard is different and, as demonstrated with
strdup(3), care must be taken when choosing the value.
