 I'm not sure upstream would accept a patch cluttering the headers for
 to avoid warnings with an old compiler.  I don't think we would want to
 maintain a patch changing all invocations of G_GNUC_INTERNAL (currently
 10) in Debian.  It might be possible to patch only G_GNUC_INTERNAL, if
 this is the case, and you're willing to write a patch, I'll forward it
 upstream for inclusion.

 Meanwhile, I suggest you disable that particular warning or this
 particular class of warnings.

   Bye,
