Commit db4ec2ffce35 added alignment attributes for 64-bit atomic
variables as required on 32-bit platforms using
__attribute__((aligned(8)). That works fine with GCC, and would work
with Solaris Studio Compiler [1] and IBM XL C [2], but src/include/c.h
defines __attribute__ as an empty macro when not using GCC.
Unfortunately we can't just disable that #define and enable all
__attributes__ for Solaris CC and XLC as we use a bunch of attributes
that are not supported by those compilers and using them unconditionally
would generate a lot of warnings.
Attached a patch that defines custom macros for each attribute and
enables them individually for compilers that support them and never
defines __attribute__.
I have tested this with GCC 4.9.2 on Linux x86-64 and Solaris CC 5.12 on
Sparc (32-bit build); I don't have access to an IBM box with XLC.
