GDB requires ISO C, not ANSI C :-)

(Yes I need to fix the ``ISO-C'' typo, clarify which ISO C standard (in 
case there are two), and yes ISO simply adopted the ANSI standard :-)

Any way, the MINIX compiler doesn't accept C++ style comments so I don't 
think it can be used....  Hmmm, should see if GDB compiles on that 
platform :-^

I think the important thing is to pressure GCC and BINUTILS to drop the 
K&R C requirement :-)
