For things that are only ever cross-compiled, or where all the native
compilers support it, it's OK to use ISO C89 (an example of this is
rs6000, where we even require ISO C89 plus a 64 bit type).  K&R is only
required for targets that must bootstrap with a K&R compiler, like x86
and sparc.

(Of course, C++-style comments are still not allowed.)
