Many (FSF and Sun at least) have interpreted the C99 standard in a way

that int64_t and similar types are only defined on 64 bit platforms. Using
-std=gnu99 lifts this rather silly restriction.

The HAVE_NETLINK define is not generated anywhere in our configure. So it
was rather pointless to use it for any test.
