The old syntax has been obsolete since GCC 2.5 (the GCC 2.5 release notes
said that the old syntax was replaced by what became the C99 syntax,
making no mention that the old syntax stayed around, although the manual
didn't reflect this until 3.0).  At some point the if (pedantic) around
the deprecation warning will probably be removed.
