i've compiled sqlite3 on several compilers in strict C89 mode, and the only
minor portability problem i'm aware of is a single use of "long long" for
the sqlite_int64 type. C89 does not specify long long, but most platforms
seem to have it. AFAIR, gcc's ANSI compatibility was quite good even back
in vsersion 2.95 (around the turn of the century), and it wouldn't surprise
me to see sqlite3 compile on that compiler.
