Grrrr... Add that to the pile of reasons to move away from autotools,
I suppose.

Yes, I think you should change your build command. It's a shame that
autotools has this bug, but we'd like to avoid changing our codebase to
work around these, and in this case, it would mean dropping the C99
requirement and having to downgrade the whole codebase to something
older.
