To elaborate, Mac OS X's current headers work just fine with -ansi.
However, some older headers do not.  Because of this, ftmac.c has:

#undef  OS_INLINE
#define OS_INLINE   static __inline__

Before including Carbon.h.  Of course, redefining a system #define is
not ideal, and may in fact break things.

Possible choices are:

1) live with this redefinition
2) don't use -ansi
3) remove the redefinition (and thus drop support for very old headers)
4) conditionalise the redefinition
