In the meantime, as a stop gap measure, we can use the C pre-processor
to get rid of the pesky __asm__ and __attribute__ annotations by passing
the following additional arguments to the pre-processor:

  -D__asm__(A)= -D__attribute__(A)=

(Don't forget quotes if using from a shell.)

c2hs can be instructed to pass extra options to the C pre-processor
using the --cppopts=CPPOPTS command line option.
