 right. the problem is not C99 itself, is the approach. 

 those are the archs mentioned in sanei/scsi:


#define STUBBED_INTERFACE       0
#define LINUX_INTERFACE         1
#define BSD_INTERFACE           2
#define HPUX_INTERFACE          3
#define OPENSTEP_INTERFACE      4
#define DECUNIX_INTERFACE       5
#define SCO_OS5_INTERFACE       6
#define IRIX_INTERFACE          7
#define SOLARIS_INTERFACE       8
#define SOLARIS_SG_INTERFACE    9
#define OS2_INTERFACE           10
#define AIX_GSC_INTERFACE       11
#define DOMAINOS_INTERFACE      12
#define FREEBSD_CAM_INTERFACE   13
#define SYSVR4_INTERFACE        14
#define SCO_UW71_INTERFACE      15
#define SOLARIS_USCSI_INTERFACE 16
#define MACOSX_INTERFACE        17
#define WIN32_INTERFACE         18

 I wonder how many users we have for some of those
 dinosaurs :)
