> Adding legacysupport on packages that don't build it's the first thing I
try. It's a "hack" that doesn't really resolve the issue. But it works
fine.
legacysupport adds functions that are missing or different on old macOS.
If you are experiencing an error that points to such a function, adding
legacysupport is a reasonable thing to try. You did not show us what error
you got so we cannot say whether it was reasonable in this case.
legacysupport has nothing to do with what C standard the code will use or
what the compiler will support. Apple GCC 4.2 supports C99 just fine but
it defaults to C89. If you want C99 you have to ask for it with a `-std`
flag.
