At the beginning of INSTALL, you will find a set of requirements.  On
of them is "an ANSI C compiler".

Note that this primary covers language syntax.  We do use libraries
that came later, but then also guard them with a suitable check of
__STDC_VERSION__ or similar, and use or provide alternate
implementations when necessary.

Cheers,
Richard
