They want the { on a separate line, like this:

for (i = 0; i < foo; i++)
  {
    printf ("i is less than %d\n", foo);
    foo++;
  }

Note that the {}s are indented only two spaces, while the body of the
loop is indented four spaces. The default emacs C mode will take care
of that detail for you, though; all you have to remember is to put the
{}s on separate lines.

The relevant part of the GNU Coding Standards is section 5, and
particularly section 5.1.
