I would like to clarify. After patch if PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T isn't defined 
then __attribute__(XXX) will be ignored always irrespective of content, 
i.e. XXX.

The current python code use Py_GCC_ATTRIBUTE only for 
'format(printf(...)) ' attribute. The patch will prevent python to use 
this macro in future for other attributer.

Also I'm not sure that I would like warning to be hidden.
As example I know that GCC(mingw) 3.5.x don't support %z and I prefer to 
see those warnings instead to hide them.
