It looks to me like __attribute__ is already accepted at the proper 
spot (after any declarator), in gram.y:
	decl: declarator [opt_gcc_attrib]

I would guess the problem might stem from lexer.l not having an entry 
for __malloc__, you would need a line like the other supported flags 
have, see __format__, __noreturn__ etc. while in the <GCC_ATTRIB> state.
