g++ 2.7.2 __attribute__ on arguments fails?

The following code snippet compiles under gcc, but not under g++
(the message "foo.c:3: parse error before `__attribute__'" is produced;
tested under i386-linux and sun4).

  void bar(void);
  
  void foo(int arg __attribute__ ((unused)))
  {
          bar();
  }

Am I using this attribute wrong?  I want to be able to use "-W -Wunused"
to guard against legitimate mistakes, while flagging arguments that I 
intend to be unused.
