If the implementation comes with documentation saying that, in order to
invoke a conforming implementation, you have to type
  c89 [source file names] -lm -lstring -lbool -lgoto
then that's what you type.  If the documentation doesn't say what you
have to type, ask your vendor for a refund.

If you're using implementation extensions, then friendly implementors
will tell you how to use the extensions too.  Surely the standard can't
specify how to use extensions.

If this were the company's opinion, I wouldn't be allowed to post it.
Pardon me?  Or do I have to commit a crime first?
