Complaining about it might help to accelerate fixes which are already
in the works. GCC documentation reads:
We are slowly phasing out all predefined macros which are
outside the reserved namespace. You should never use them in
new programs, and we encourage you to correct older code to
use the parallel macros whenever you find it.
Complaining might make the "slowwly" a little faster. Not complaining
certainly does not help at all.

Maybe we should do that?
Best regards,
