Thanks for the report. I don't have an opinion, but some comments:

1) I think it's going to be hard for developers to remember to use
different conventions for emacs-module.h, so C99-isms are likely to
creep back in.

2) Are people really likely to be building Emacs modules with set-ups
that can't build Emacs itself?

3) It seems this feature was supported by gcc since 0.9? Ie, forever?

Hopefully someone who does have an opinion will quickly either fix or
wontfix this issue. :)
