The idea is to define __attribute__ to be a no-op for GCC versions before
3.1.  The code I sent you does that; the code you sent me changes at 3.0, not
3.1.  For non-GCC compilers, __GNUC__ evaluates to 0 in an #if.

At this point I expect nobody uses GCC 3.0 any more so the distinction
may be a who-cares now.
