The SC has finally finished voting on ISO C89 conversion. (The
mailing list for the SC experienced some problems, which caused things
to bog down a bit.)
The verdict is in: it is OK to assume ISO C89 in all code in GCC
proper. (In other words, libiberty and/or other libraries are not
affected.)
So, patches to do ISO C conversions on the mainline are hereby
pre-approved with one caveat: I would appreciate it if people would
wait until GCC 3.3 is out the door. The reason is that we're still
applying a lot of patches to both branches, and that process is tricky
enough without creating a lot of spurious merge conflicts.
