Comment:

 Blacklisting old compilers is not necessarily the solution we want. For
 example, if the only problem is that this code needs C99, then gcc 4.2
 supports C99 and should simply be instructed to use it via the `-std=c99`
 or `-std=gnu99` flag. However, if there are additional issues such that
 gcc 4.2 really cannot compile this code regardless what language standard
 it's using, then blacklisting it is of course correct.

 Don't forget in the future to include in your commit message that it
 resolves a ticket so that the ticket can auto-close.
