__attribute__ annotations and struct types

gcc-4.1.1 accepts this as valid code:

struct __attribute__((__aligned__(16))) foo {
    int a;
};

sparse doesn't like it:

	test.c:7:8: error: Trying to use reserved word '__attribute__' 
	as identifier

I'm not sure if this is a bug that people are interested in solving, as
the more common form works in both gcc and sparse:

struct foo {
    int a;
} __attribute__((__aligned__(16)));
