Is HP's ANSI C compiler C99 or C89? Git is sort of officially C89, but most developers use C99 compilers, so there's a bunch of C99-isms; seems to me like a slew of "inline" as a keyword and three C++/C99 comments.

If the compiler is supposed to be C99, the issues should be reported to HP and the gcc people, since "make CFLAGS=-std=c99" has no problem with git, suggesting that there's some issue with interpretation of the standard for one or the other.
