The default configuration of gcc includes several extensions over ANSI C.
Use "gcc -ansi -pedantic" to test this sort of thing.
	$ cat try.c
	int foo(int n) { int a[n]; }
	$ gcc -c try.c
	$ gcc -ansi -pedantic -c try.c
	try.c: In function foo:
	try.c:1: warning: ANSI C forbids variable-size array `a'
	$ exit
