If I try that with Yaakov's 4.5.3 cross compilers, then __STRICT_ANSI__
is not defined with -std=c__0x, unless I also specify `-ansi' on the
command line.  However, there's a weird warning:

  $ i686-pc-cygwin-g++ -std=c++0x -dM -E - < /dev/null | grep ANSI
  cc1: warning: command line option "-std=c++0x" is valid for C++/ObjC++ but not for C

Well, sure, that's why I called g++, not gcc...
