Yes.

How did you do that, exactly? I.e. please show the configure command line and
the following steps.

You gave too few details about your configuration, gcc version, etc. - I don't
reproduce:

$ ./gnulib-tool --create-testdir --dir=/tmp/testdir7 array-list
$ cd /tmp/testdir7
$ gcc -v 2>&1 |grep 'version '
gcc version 4.3.1 20080507 (prerelease) [gcc-4_3-branch revision 135036] (SUSE 
Linux) 
$ ./configure CC="gcc -std=c89"
[works fine]
$ make
[works fine]
