Those tests aren't invalid. They are checking for __STDC_VERSION__ >=
199901L and not __STRICT_ANSI__.

It's possible that old gcc was lying and claiming conformance where it
wasn't.

That seems to say that libstdc++-v3 requires standard comliance in the
compiler. How about adding -std=c89/c99/whatever to libstdc++-v3's
compile options?


On the other hand I'm not sure I understand the problem properly so
perhaps I'm totally wrong.
