Getting past C99 is the hardest part because it's not possible (as far
as I can see) to do fully automated reporting for implicit function
declarations.  (Because we don't implement, say, setproctitle, that's
going to show up as a legitimate configure check failure.)

The other issues (e.g., implicit ints, true/falls/bool redefined, () for
variadic parameter lists) are more tractable because those have to be
removed completely.  So their presence is always worth reporting.

Thanks,
Florian
