That's probably because anjuta seems to have assimilated exctags ;)

I know a workaround - I haven't come around to send-PR'ing it, because 
I'm not really sure what needs to be fixed (/usr/include/sys/cdefs.h or
the packages..), but newer versions of cdefs.h (at least 1.57 has it)
seem to do the same thing as debug.h from anjuta / exctags does: #defining
a macro for __attribute__((__unused__)).

cdefs.h uses a #define __unused		__attribute__((__unused__))

while exctags uses

#define __unused__	__attribute__((__unused__))

The problem is that anjuta/exctags uses "__unused__" as a macro name -
a rather silly thing to do, if you ask me -, and cdefs.h / edian.h is included 
*after* this #define, making the macro in endian.h expand to

__attribute__((__attribute__((__unused__))))

And that ain't going to work. 

A dirty workaround would be to replace line #31 of general.h (both exctags
as well as anjuta (in tagmanager/) ) with something like

#include <sys/cdefs.h>
#define __unused__ __unused

Which is just as dirty, but at least it works. A better way would be to
rename those __unused__ occurrances to something that doesn't case a name
clash.
