Use a macro to indicate C99 to the compiler

The [AC_PROG_CC_C99 macro](https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.64/html_node/C-Compiler.html) sets the complier to the C99 standard if the compiler does not default to such behaviour (albeit gnu99). This is better than specifically hardcoding flags
