Yes, exactly that's the situation in GNU gnulib. And it's not only a temporary
problem, during some migration time. In fact, some of the gcc __attribute__s
will probably never be available in [[...]] syntax. Thus our software will
always continue to use __attribute__. And if [[...]] does not mix well with it,
we will never use the [[...]] syntax for any attribute.
