Really.  You're making the common "all the world uses my compiler"
mistake.  Don't confuse the language accepted by GCC with C as defined by
the standards -- GCC implements a number of non-standard extensions, this
being one of them.  Nested function definitions have never been part of
the C language, and very few other compilers will accept them.
