Yes, it is obsolete for Emacs 21.  Use the documentation that comes
with Emacs instead -- do

     `C-h i m cc mode'

in Emacs to display the current documentation.  If you're not familiar
with the Emacs documentation system you might want to take the Info
tutorial first:

     `C-h i h'

I started from what an user answer here gave me:

(add-hook 'c-mode-hook
        (function (lambda ()
                (c-set-style "bsd")
                (setq c-basic-offset 4)
        ))
)

and then what what you said:
     C-x C-o
I get the the statement
     Syntactic symabol to change: substatement
I hit Enter...
     substatement offset (default +):
I put 0, and then I get the *wanted behaviour*.
     C-x ESC ESC
     redo (c-set-offset (quote substatement) 0 nil)

So I modify my .emacs:

(add-hook 'c-mode-hook
        (function (lambda ()
                (c-set-style "bsd")
                (setq c-basic-offset 4)
                (c-set-offset 0)
        ))
)

But then I obtain a different behaviour.
Typically, after an "if", when I go on a new line to do my opening 
brace, and hit Tab, the offset is 12 characters (8 char tab, and four 
characters).
