Yes, this change is backward.  It undoes the main part of rev.1.17.
No special #define's are required to correctly break the compiles,
since __attribute__(()) is already a syntax error.

This regression may be related to breakage of lint(1).  lint(1) now
uses a wrong version of cpp, one that pre-defines __GNUC__.  Since lint
is not gcc, this defeats all the __GNUC__ ifdefs in <sys/cdefs.h>.  In
particular, __attributes__'s in important macros like __printflike are
exposed to lint and lint barfs on important headers like <stdio.h> that
expand these macros.
