well.... 

clang DEFINITELY aims to be drop-in replacement for gcc, ie. it supports (aims
to support) all the gcc extensions hence no -pedantic needed to be compatible
with gcc and clang at the same time

pcc discusses this now (http://pcc.ludd.ltu.se/jira/browse/PCC-18)

from what Chris Mallon said I believe it's cparser's goal too to be drop-in
replacement for gcc


ie. no strong need for -pedantic as far as I can tell :)

honestly... we need some of the gnu99 features and it's only a good thing that 
the alternative compilers support that, I also have a gut feeling that (as it
was in the past) some of the gnu99 things might appear in the next C standard
