simple C program

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    for (int i=0; i < 2; i++)
        printf("crap\n");
};

[tabris@tabriel tmp]$ gcc test.c -o test
test.c: In function `main':
test.c:6: error: `for' loop initial declaration used outside C99 mode

What does that mean, and why am I not allowed to make a local scope variable 
for a for{;;} loop?

works fine if i declare the variable outside the loop. But I swear I used to 
do this with gcc 2.95.
