You only think you use c99.

Look in /usr/include/features.h for _GNU_SOURCE.  NTPsec compiles
with _GNU_SOURCE.  That turns on this in features.h:

/* If _GNU_SOURCE was defined by the user, turn on all the other features.  */
#ifdef _GNU_SOURCE
[...]
# define _ISOC11_SOURCE 1
[...]
# define _POSIX_SOURCE  1
[...]
# define _POSIX_C_SOURCE        200809L
[...]
# define _XOPEN_SOURCE  700
[...]
#endif

Side effect is that this, in wscript, does nothing:

wscript:        ctx.define("_POSIX_C_SOURCE", "200112L", quote=False)


I suggest you take a good long hard look at the contents of that include
file.
