GCC 5 and GCC 6 default to C11 (-std=gnu11), does the restriction to C99 mean that -std=gnu99 should be passed explicitly?

Also note that -std=c99 is not the same as -std=gnu99. The latter allows GNU extensions like computed goto. Does the interpreter depend on those? (Presumably it could be a benefit.)
