| Yeah. Lame entry, sorry about that.

The following doesn't compile:

   #define _GLIBCPP_USE_C99

   #include <cmath>

   int c99 = 20010527;

   int main()
   {
     return 0;
   }

If I recall correctly, we agreed that c99 should be defined in std::.
I'm producing a patch.

Hmm, what do you mean by that?
