GCC 3.4 issue


Just for grins, I thought I'd give 3.4 (pre-release) a spin.  Lo and behold,
there are problems (PPC at least):

powerpc-eabi-gcc -c  -I/work/moab/t/install/include -I/work2/ecos/packages/io/fileio/current -I/work2/ecos/packages/io/fileio/current/src -I/work2/ecos/packages/io/fileio/current/tests -I. -I/work2/ecos/packages/io/fileio/current/src/ -msoft-float -mcpu=405 -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wstrict-prototypes -Winline -Wundef -Woverloaded-virtual -g -O2 -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions   -Wp,-MD,src/file.tmp -o src/io_fileio_file.o /work2/ecos/packages/io/fileio/current/src/file.cxx
cc1plus: warning: command line option "-Wstrict-prototypes" is valid for C/ObjC but not for C++
/tmp/cchuPi8h.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cchuPi8h.s:105: Error: symbol `__cygvar_discard_me__' is already defined

This comes from use of this macro:

// -------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Reference a symbol without explicitly making use of it. Ensures that
// the object containing the symbol will be included when linking.

#define CYG_REFERENCE_OBJECT(__object__)                                 \
     CYG_MACRO_START                                                     \
     static void *__cygvar_discard_me__ __attribute__ ((unused)) =       \
                                                          &(__object__); \
     CYG_MACRO_END

At least with previous versions of GCC, this worked out OK.
Any ideas how best to work around it (or maybe this should be
reported as a GCC bug)?
