Anyway, I think there's no way to get something like this to work:
foo (a, b, dummy)
char *a;
int b;
ARG_UNUSED (int, dummy);
{
}

OK.

So we won't be able to bootstrap from third-party C++ compilers?
The ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED macro cannot be made to work with MSVC, CW
or other popular compilers.
Not that I care that much: on any supported host you can always
install an older version of GCC or cross-compile from another host.
