} Ah. Maybe that's what jnemeth meant in his comment to the pr. There was
} a cryptic ed command at the end of it.

     Yeah, when I said __STDC_VERSION, I meant to say __STDC_VERSION__.

} So is this back to a pkg pr where the Makefile needs the -std=c99?

     I personally still feel that it is a toolchain issue; however,
I've been testing a possible fix for the sendmail package.
Unconditionally setting -std=c99 will fail on systems that don't
provide a C99 compiler.

     The big issue is that in -current some headers will pull in
<stdbool.h> even without -std=c99 (this is a change in behaviour
from 4.0).  This means that bool is defined differently from how
sendmail defined it.  sendmail keys on __STDC_VERSION__ to determine
if <stdbool.h> exists.  If __STDC_VERSION__ is defined then sendmail
will pull in <stdbool.h> instead of providing its own definiton of
bool.  This is probably the best it can do without doing autoconf
style stuff.
