only define G_GNUC_INTERNAL if gcc >= 2.95 is used (442 bytes, patch)

Description David Schleef 2006-01-29 01:22:31 UTC 
In my current installation, I get the following definition of G_GNUC_INTERNAL:

  #define G_GNUC_INTERNAL __attribute__((visibility("hidden")))

When used by other header files (gmessages.h, for example) in a function prototype, gcc-2.95 chokes on it.

Arguably, because of the age of gcc-2.95, this isn't high priority, but should be easy to fix.  Also, if this is a distro error, please advise.

This patch should fix the problem (which is based on the few lines proposed in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=303124;msg=15)
