Hum, but variable declaration in the for loop is part of C99 standard (as
the error message also says). So did you want to say you are compiling
against C89 standard? And CentOS 7 ships with GCC 4.8.5 AFAICS which should
be fully C99 compliant BTW. So what's the situation here?

That being said I can workaround the problem in the macro, it will just be
somewhat uglier. So before doing that I'd like to understand whether
following C89 is really required...
