I have on old (v4.2.1) gcc repo on Linux and looking at
~/gcc-4.2.1/gcc/ChangeLog-2004
I can see that the sentinel attribute was added on 2004-09-04 by
Kaveh R. Ghazi.
Also, I find "bump version string to version 4.0.0" was on 2004-09-09
and "bump version string to version 3.5.0" was on 2004-01-16.
Several of my system header files (on Linux) imply that the
sentinel attribute is supported by __GNUC__ >= 4. (One of them,
ansidecl.h, states that gcc 3.5 supports it but ...)
