The following syntax:

        char foo[] = {
                [0] = 1,
                [7] = 2,
                [15] = 3
        };

is a c99 construct which some compilers do not support even though they
support other c99 constructs. Use an alternative.

But the alternative is much worse. So how important is it to support
non-C99 compilers?

Fairly important. Lots of people have gone through lots of work to make
sure git works with legacy compilers.
