Compiling what files? I don't see any such warnings. Are you using
unusual options? What compiler?

It's a GCC bug. The attributes should be preserved by using typeof in
libc_hidden_proto, but are not. I see Ulrich has put it in a workaround,
but I think we should have just ignored it and get GCC fixed.
