in compiler-gcc3.h
#if __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 3
# define __attribute_used__ __attribute__((__used__))
#else
# define __attribute_used__ __attribute__((__unused__))
#endif

and in compiler-gcc4.h
#define __attribute_used__ __attribute__((__used__))

it looks like the pre gcc3.3 version is suited here or I'm misusing the
__attribute_used__ extension somehow.
