Please cite a reference proving this (absurd) claim. And please answer
the question how a compiler can be 'designed to accept only strictly
conforming C source code' and incorporate both machine-specific
features and extensions to C.

You are being an idiot. I don't know if it's intentional or
accidental, but either way, it's very annoying.

Even if the compiler has machine-specific features and extensions,
it's entirely appropriate to warn when somebody might be using such
things unintentionally. (With code that might mean somethign else on
another platform.)
