-std=gnu11 is C11 (+extensions). Saying otherwise seems to imply that
gcc -std=gnu11 wouldn't compile C11 code anymore. But it seems we have
only a minor disagreement on definitions.

Since the compilation of ISL does not need any GNU extensions, I don't
see the point of using -std=gnu99.

However, I'd want to wait for Tobias' opinion.
