After investigation, this patch can be dropped. The __attribute__ fix from git-compat-utils.h is actually being picked up correctly now (unlike our 2.8.5 port when it was required). I am suspecting that this was blocked by a configuration setting in config.mak.uname that got fixed when I got my hands on that file for a cleanup. The path through there is via #ifndef __GNUC__.
