If the person in question (I think it was Doug Gwyn) meant that H&S's
grammar wasn't for ANSI C, he was jumping the gun.  The ANSI C standard
hasn't even been distributed for comment yet; I suspect it's called
something like a "draft proposed standard", meaning it's only a proposed
standard, and only a draft for one at that.  Wait until the final ANSI
standard comes out, and there'll be plenty of grammars available.
