Yes, definitely you've catch the problem.
This can explain why civserver compiles and instead civclient not.
(it uses the wrong attribute.h file)

Isn't better to get rid of the common/attribute.h file and including it
into common/shared.h, with the related necessary include rules removal?

(I mean, also in CVS tree as well...)

Inside common/attribute.h file there is only that little define that
checks __GCC__ define, for how to substitute fc__attribute.

This is only my 2 cents.
