+Subject: [PATCH] base: fix ABSL_ATTRIBUTE_WARN_UNUSED with gcc <= 12
+
+Gcc <= 12 does not support mixing standard C++ attributes with
+GNU attributes. See [1].
+
+This can lead to build failures such as [2] [3] and [4]. In those
+situations, the compilation fails with error such as:
+
+    /usr/include/absl/base/attributes.h:1076:36: error: expected identifier before '[' token
+
+Gcc maintainers mentioned in [1] comment 9 that this bugfix will
+not be backported in Gcc 12. Gcc 12 is still used in LTS
+distributions. For example, it is included in Debian 12 (Bookworm),
+which is still supported until 2028. See [5].
+
+This commit adds a workaround for gcc <= 12 which uses
+__attribute__ in that case, which fixes the compilation failure.
