Just as a point of reference, Gentoo Linux provides c89 and c99 as shell
scripts, which contain the following:

- ----- 8< ----- /usr/bin/c89 ----- 8< -----
#! /bin/sh

# Call the appropriate C compiler with options to accept ANSI/ISO C
# The following options are the same (as of gcc-2.95):
# 	-ansi
# 	-std=c89
# 	-std=iso9899:1990

for i; do
    case "$i" in
	-ansi|-std=c89|-std=iso9899:1990)
	    ;;
	-std=*)
	    echo >&2 "`basename $0` called with non ANSI/ISO C90 option $i"
	    exit 1
	    ;;
    esac
done

exec gcc -std=c89 -pedantic -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE "$@"
- ----- 8< ----- /usr/bin/c99 ----- 8< -----
#! /bin/sh

# Call the appropriate C compiler with options to accept ANSI/ISO C
# The following options are the same (as of gcc-3.3):
# 	-std=c99
# 	-std=c9x
# 	-std=iso9899:1999
# 	-std=iso9899:199x

for i; do
    case "$i" in
	-std=c9[9x]|-std=iso9899:199[9x])
	    ;;
	-ansi|-std=*)
	    echo >&2 "`basename $0` called with non ANSI/ISO C99 option $i"
	    exit 1
	    ;;
    esac
done

exec gcc -std=c99 -pedantic -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE ${1+"$@"}
