Rainer,

gfortran works on FreeBSD, which does not use glibc.  In fact, if
you are using a glibc that permits gfortran to run, then you may be
using code that may infringe on SunPro's copyright in fdlibm.

On the other hand, you have a point that gfortran should not 
unconditionally assume a C99 compiler.  Indeed, Bud Davis
recently committed c99-functions.c to provide a compatibility
shim.  If you have any patches, please send then to fortran@
