Wait ... the second part of that doesn't seem to be true.
According to

http://mingw-w64.org/doku.php/versions

mingw-w64 has made at least three releases since this
bug was fixed.  Surely they're shipping something newer
than 8.1.0 by now.

So maybe, rather than hacking up the attribute stuff for
a bug that might bite us again anyway in future, we ought
to press walleye's owner to install a more recent compiler.
