Erm... not really... __dead2, __unused, and even __pure2 are littered
throughout FreeBSD's header files... nothing wrong with them being there
as if the compiler being used is not GCC they are #define'd to nothing.
If there is some resistance to putting GCC-specific stuff in the system,
its news to me, because these attributes are used all over the place for
stuff like exit, _exit, abort, etc. I see nothing wrong with using this
GCC extension.
