There seems to be a decent amount of interest in moving to C99 as our
base level of C support due to the many features it provides.  Let's add
a test balloon to make sure we haven't accidentally excluded any
systems.

Changes from v2:
* Avoid setting the main CFLAGS to avoid breaking FreeBSD.
* Set SPARSE_FLAGS again since it's now necessary with the main CFLAGS
  not being set.
* Add a mention of "-std=gnu99" to the comment.
Changes from v1:
* Don't modify SPARSE_FLAGS since it's unnecessary.
* Improve commit message to explain why we use -std=gnu99.
