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,
