This is an unfortunate instance where the __has_attribute check does
not function usefully. Gcc does have the attribute, but for gcc it only
applies to functions, not variables, and trying to apply it to a
variable generates Wattribute. So far we only apply the attribute to
variables. Only enable the attribute for clang, for now.
