[cfe-dev] naked attribute

[Anton Korobeynikov]

The original intent when the naked attribute to clang / llvm was added
had been to make it work on all the platforms regardless whether gcc
supports it or not.

The main motivation is that in LLVM case everything is done in
target-independent way.

I really do not see a point of warning here, especially given that gcc
side is largely undocumented.
