bug#41467: Compiling extensions using Guile 3.0.2 headers doesn't work with clang without -std=c11

[Vadim Zeitlin]

 Hello,

 I'm am not sure how useful this is because I don't know anything about
Guile, but I contribute to the SWIG project which generates Guile bindings
among other things and I noticed that one of the CI builds started failing
since the upgrade from 2.2.7 to 3.0.2 version due to the errors like this:

(see e.g. https://travis-ci.org/github/swig/swig/jobs/683649601 for the
actual build output).

 We're going to work around this in SWIG by adding -std=c11 to the compiler
options, but it would probably be better to avoid this problem without it
too, unless Guile really requires C11.

 Best regards,
