Then your build environment is broken.

$ make -s CC="gcc -std=gnu99"
$ gcc -v
[...]
gcc version 7.3.0 (GCC)
$

It also builds with gcc 9.2.0.

Note that C90 is no longer supported as the code uses C++-style comments
all over the place now. But using a dietlibc built with a newer gcc to
build binaries on an older system should also work fine.

These are _not_ fixes.

Please stop posting "fixes" like this on the mailing list.

You are more likely to cause confusion and/or brokenness than fixing
anything.

If you want to report a problem, report the problem, not your "fix".
Especially not if it consists of commenting out whole files wholesale.
