build: restore compatibility support

Commit 0d56ba3 (build: restore the exercise chain) broke the
compatibility support for old compilers, due to the use of the
multi-object for loop syntax.

Use the normal for loop syntax; the change still keep the code readable.

Use the variable `n`, instead of `i`, when referring to the exercise
number; this will improve the readability.

Closes #227
