Pedantic error on address-of main breaks libjava bootstrap

When building libjava stacktrace.o on i386-pc-mingw32, bootstrap fails with:

./sysdep/backtrace.h: In function '_Unwind_Reason_Code fallback_backtrace(_Unwind_Reason_Code (*)(_Unwind_Context*, void*), _Jv_UnwindState*)':
./sysdep/backtrace.h:107: error: ISO C++ forbids taking address of function '::main'

On mingw32, backtrace.h is a symlink or copy to i386/backtrace.h, which is what has this problem:

      if (ctx.meth_addr == (_Jv_uintptr_t)jv_runmain
          || ctx.meth_addr == (_Jv_uintptr_t)_Jv_ThreadStart
          || (ctx.meth_addr - (_Jv_uintptr_t)main) < 16)
        break;

The code needs the address of main to stop the unwind. What is the proper way to suppress this warning? __extension__ doesn't seem to help.

(I'm actually not sure what has changed to cause this warning to start happening now.)
