Note that `compiler_attributes.h` does not keep attributes that depend
on config options.

On one hand, I feel we should put them there. On the other hand, I
want to avoid making a mess again since the purpose of the file is to
keep things clean for the majority of attributes.

Perhaps we should do a middle-ground, and only allow those that depend
on a single config option, i.e. no nesting `#if`s or complex
conditions.

Cheers,
Miguel
