Have you tested this with older compilers?

In particular, I have this dim memory of gcc historically not liking 
multiple separate __attribute__ bits, ie

	__attribute__((unused,__section__ ...))

would be fine, but

	__attribute__((unused)) __attribute__((__section__ ...))

would not compile.

But hey, my brain is cabbage, and my memory might be crap.
