There's no reason which is specific to this keyword. I'm not sure I
understand the motivation behind this distinction: if -Wgnu is intended to
warn on constructs which are not portable to non-GNU-compatible compilers,
then it should clearly warn on this. Otherwise, what is its intended
purpose?

Nonetheless, if we want to warn on GNU __-prefixed keywords, we should add
a warning somewhere more global to catch all of them, rather than just
warning on this one keyword; I've reverted this part of the change in
r151401.

Thanks!
Richard
