I'm pretty sure this is the first time a major (not entirely compatible)
CRTL change has been released outside of an OS release. So developers
who have always assumed if you provide binaries linked on an 8.4.x
system that is completely up-to-date on patches that it will run on any
8.4.x system can no longer make that assumption.

If you want to require anyone using your package to have the C99
features added recently, then you need to specify the C99 and DPML
updates in your PCSI dependencies or require some later version of VMS
(presumably v8.4-2L3 or later).

If you want to provide binaries that work on systems without the C99 and
DPML patches, then you either need to maintain unpatched systems and
build your releases on those, or do an unsupported dance with the linker
to make it see older libraries than what you have installed on your system.

If I have left out any options, someone please fill me in.
