2770	Missing check that C compiler is C99 compatible	jputcu		"The autoconfigure script checks for gcc >= 2. When using such a compiler on Red Hat 7.3, gcc-2.96, I get a number of C89 errors.

Stated on http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/Rts/Conventions, C99 standard is used so my compiler is too old?

Should the gcc requirement be updated or just check for C99 compliance."	bug	closed	normal	6.12.1	Build System	6.10.1	fixed		joris.putcuyps@…	Linux	x86		Unknown
