I build trunk on OS X at least once a day with sqlite-amalgamation and
it builds fine for me. It throws a bunch of warnings but I don't
think the warnings have anything to do with -std=c89. What errors or
problems are you seeing? What compiler are you using? What config
options are you using? What version of sqlite3 are using? What
version of OS X?

Also at least for me:
 gcc -std=c89 /usr/include/libkern/OSAtomic.h -o /dev/null

Doesn't produce any errors.
