Thats bad to start with. Bad enough to report to the gcc people. It
should either:

1) Report a syntax error

or

2) Produce correct code.

eCos code has the attribute at the end, so to save us having to find
and change them i all suggest 2) is the correct thing for the compiler
:-)

I would not shout compiler bug. Rather i would ask what the expected
behavious is. Its a more tactfull approach.
