When I wrote randread.c I forgot to put an #ifndef __attribute__ around
the #define __attribute__, as all other files do. Sorry about that.
The bug crops up with pedantic GCC only.
Here's a patch:
2006-11-22 Paul Eggert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* randread.c (__attribute__): Don't define if __attribute__ is
already defined. Otherwise, the code won't conform to C99, since
the macro arg is spelled differently by some include file, and the
compilation fails with pedantic GCC.
