   I suggest not bothering with the C99 syntax here.  Go with C11,
   and use the 'static' keyword.  That's the only thing that's
   likely to help an optimizing compiler anyway.  E.g., test this
   in 'configure':

   int
   main (int argc, char *argv[static argc])
   {
      ...
   }

   and then use the version with 'static' if available.  Why waste
   time fiddling with the 15-year-old syntax?

I thought ‘static’ in this context was indeed C99.  In the (draft)
PDF i have, it is mentioned in many places the most detailed of
them being § 6.7.5.3 "Function declarators (including prototypes)".
(Identically, for the C11 draft PDF.)  Am i missing something?

Anyway, you have convinced me; i have changed the test accordingly.
Thanks for the suggestion.
