help regarding "-ansi" flag

Hi,

For gcc 4.1.2, as per the man page of gcc, the default standard is gnu89 i.e. ISO C90 plus GNU extensions. 
"-ansi" also supports ISO C90 programs.
Is the difference in using and not using "-ansi" flag is not enabling GNU extensions and enabling GNU extensions or is there any other difference as well??

Thanks for help,
S
