-std=c89 works fine for slightly wrong reasons, but not gnu89, mainly
because of spelling differences.  std=c89 prevents definition of
FreeBSD's __LONG_LONG_SUPPORTED in <sys/cdefs.h>, while std=gnu99
gives a definition of _LONGLONG by the compiler itself.  stdlib.h etc.
only understands the former.

Someone added -std=mumble which causes lots of warnings in nonstandard code.
