attribute "section" problem

Hello,
I am having trouble compiling my project since gcc-3.1.x and later simply
because we are using __attribute__((section("sec_name"))) on the class
members all over the map. This little example will fail to compile:
class a {
public: __attribute__((section("ex_text"))) a();
};
... while ...
class a {
public: a() __attribute__((section("ex_text")));
};
will succeed. I have been searching for quite some time for the answer
on that
with no luck. In my humble opinion, the former declaration is correct,
though
I might be wrong.
The latest version I have tried my luck is:
gcc version 3.2.1 20021020 (Debian prerelease)
The error message is:
test.cpp:2: warning: `section' attribute ignored
test.cpp:2: declaration does not declare anything
test.cpp:2: parse error before `)' token
I'd pleased to know whether this is a gcc bug or if I'll have to rewrite
all
constructor declarations everywhere to have the __attribute__ placed
after the constructor name.
Regards,
Petr Sebor
