Are there many kernels still being built with 2.95.4? It's quite antiquated, as far as i'm aware.
The use of '__' violates compiler namespace. If 2.95.4 were not easily replaced by a much better version (3.3.x? 3.4.x) I would see a reason to disregard this, but a fix merely to satisfy an obsolete compiler?
In my humblest of opinions you are fixing a bug that is better solved by downloading a more recent version of gcc.
