Comment(by pv):

 The GCC version is quite venerable. Quickest fix would be to upgrade it.

 The error message seems a bit misleading, since, reading
 `numpy/core/setup.py`, as far as I see this doesn't have much to do with
 C99 -- it's just a check to ensure that `sizeof(struct { float_t real;
 float_t imag; }) == 2*sizeof(float_t)`. Essentially all Numpy functions
 dealing with complex numbers assume this.

 One could maybe supplement Numpy's complex definitions with some
 (compiler-specific) packing pragmas. I'm not sure it would be enough,
 though.
