+As of gcc 3.4, all uses of the __internal_linkage macro on
+functions returning pointers to structured types are causing a
+warning of the form:
+
+cairoint.h:406: warning: `__visibility__' attribute ignored on non-class types
+
+I'm commenting these out to shut up the compiler, and tagging each
+case with "XXX-NON-CLASS:". We should determine if these uses should be
+removed completely or if they can be fixed in some way.

 The caches need to be invalidated at font destruction time.
