Hmm, yeah, their bug #70066 shows clearly that the __attribute__
spelling should work.  But I think we'd better make the cutoff be
version 9 not version 6, because that same bug is quite clear
about when they fixed it.  The lack of complaints from the buildfarm
may just indicate a lack of animals running the intermediate versions.
