I would not do that. Mind cross-compilers, please.

Such blocks are still Objective-C language specific, they are not C and 
therefore won't work with GCC.

$ gcc block.c

block.c: In function ‘main’:
block.c:2:14: error: expected identifier or ‘(’ before ‘^’ token
         int (^x)(void) = ^{
              ^
block.c:6:16: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘x’ [-Wimplicit-
function-declaration]
         return x();
                ^
