    Hey Nick!

    Found the c99 culprit as per subject. The fix looks like this;

    CC='gcc -std=c99' ./configure --prefix=/usr -G -O3 -r

    Works like a charm. :-)

    I'm not sure what "bc-7.0.3" is, but my package manager seems to offer this:

    Packages (1) bc-1.08.2-1

    Not sure if that's even the same thing or not, since the version is way different.

    Exactly the same but totally different. They are both source to a shell based calculator, except your version is really old. bc-7.0.3 is a github and is supposedly more up to date. However now that you bring it up I really don't see any issues with bc-1.08.2.

    I don't use it, but mayhaps the arch maintainers don't actually maintain it any more, or it was replaced by something more sought after. Who knows.
