Subject: compatability: bits/syscall.h requires C99

I've been trying to get musl compatability patches for libuv merged
upstream, and I have it building, but there's one sticking point:
Upstream insists on using --std=c89 (I guess for portability to other
platforms).
This makes GCC choke on "long" in <bits/syscall.h>.
Per make -i, this is the only problem.

Would it be possible to eliminate this requirement?

Thanks,
Isaac Dunham
