That means "restrict" is no longer part of the standard and hence should
not be accepted by standards conforming compilers. However, the issue you
were complaining about is still part of the standard and any compiler
which doesn't accept it is not C99 conformant.

However, if Jean-Marc would like to remove this construct and make sure
it doesn't creep back in, he might be interested in the 

     -Wdeclaration-after-statement

GCC warning option. I believe that this -W flag is available in gcc-3.4
and later. If you are interested, I can also supply you with an M4 
autoconf macro that can be used to add this to CFLAGS if and only if 
the compiler supports it.
