 Right. The Makefile generates gisdefs.i from gisdefs.h, removing the
 declarations of any variadic functions using grep. One of the declarations
 which it removes is G_asprintf(), which has the above __attribute__
 declaration on the following line, so it gets left behind, separated from
 the actual function declaration.

 I'm guessing that this happened when the file was "indent"ed.

 A more robust filter is:

 {{{
 cat ../../../include/gisdefs.h | sed -e '/\.\.\..*;/d' -e '/\.\.\./,/;/d'
 >> gisdefs.i
 }}}

 This removes any declaration containing "..."; if the terminating
 semicolon isn't on the same line, it will remove subsequent lines until it
 finds the semicolon.
