Re: Change handling of common attributes

    What does "too large" mean here?  This check is to warn about attempts
    to use TImode types on systems (such as those with GNU libc, on all
    architectures) where the de facto ABI defines intmax_t to be DImode
    but TImode is at least somewhat supported and therefore looks to
    programs somewhat like a C99 extended integer type, but mustn't be
    allowed to be one.  The appropriate handling would be either to make
    intmax_t and uintmax_t available to all front ends or to define a
    function such as lang_mode_too_wide_warning to handle the
    language-dependency.

Well, it was a warning and only on -pedantic.  That seems odd in the first
place since it's already a GNU extension.

I agree it's possible to do things to put the warning back, but is it really
worth it?
