OP didn't properly characterize GNU style.

GNU style is actually something like this:

  if (flag)
    {
       switch (state)
         {
           case 42:
             {
                state = 73;
                break;
             }
         }
     }
   else
     {
       statement;
     }

Four space indentation, but braces half-indent by two spaces.
