That's what we're negotiating.

Modern GCC is probably still written in C90.
For a very long time they refused to even
use ANSI C prototypes, they used K&R
instead. With a bit of cooperation we may
be able to take the i370 directory from
GCC 3.2.3 and put it into a modern GCC,
giving C11 and C++. And presumably Ada
and Fortran too.
