2008-01-17Do not define-away __attribute__ when __STRICT_ANSI__ is set.Jim Meyering
* src/system.h (__attribute__): Remove the __STRICT_ANSI__ disjunct. It has been unnecessary since approximately gcc-2.6, and now, leaving it would cause gcc -Werror -ansi to fail to compile csplit.c. * gl/lib/randread.c (__attribute__): Likewise.
