If so, please give platform and compiler. As you probably know, I'm currently looking into bootstrapping GuixSD from source. I'd like to see Guile become more bootstrappable, i.e., less C code and perhaps a BOOTSTRAP define to remove all non-essential features and possibly target bootstrapping it before bootstrapping gcc or even tcc. I see C99 more as a feature than a problem. Nyacc supports C99, hardly any recent software can be built without it.
