Why do you give it the value __STRICT_ANSI__? All documentation I find suggests
it's enough to simply define it. See man page feature_test_macros(7) on Linux
(at least)
The alternative is, of course, to define _DEFAULT_SOURCE in the files where
-ansi becomes a problem.

That was based on examining /usr/include/features.h and the comment
for _DEFAULT_SOURCE:
_DEFAULT_SOURCE The default set of features (taking precedence
over __STRICT_ANSI__).
How do you convey features by just defining it? It seems like it needs
an argument, like _DEFAULT_SOURCE=__STRICT_ANSI__ or
_DEFAULT_SOURCE=_POSIX_SOURCE.
But its definitely not my area of expertise. I've never had to define to before.

It's the fact of its being defined which indicates features - it's
tested in the GNU headers to decide what functionality to make
visible. The norm is just to define it, or to define it to 1;
setting it to __STRICT_ANSI__ would be a very confusing thing to do
since the whole point of defining it is to say that you don't want
__STRICT_ANSI__.<br>

Why do you want to be able to build on an OS released in 2012 with a
C89-only compiler? I'm probably missing something, but I'm
struggling to understand the point of this.<br>
