Using the --std=c99 switch, programs using getaddrinfo and other IPv6-aware
networking commands don't work:
[ ~/src/_sandbox] gcc --std=c99 -Wall ipv6_test.c -o it
ipv6_test.c: In function `main':
ipv6_test.c:25: error: storage size of 'hints' isn't known
ipv6_test.c:34: warning: implicit declaration of function
`getaddrinfo'
ipv6_test.c:38: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
... 

Removing the switch cause the program to build, but if I use c99-specific
programming then it will fail because of that.
