Ah, now i see.

Placing of __attribute__ is position-dependant, and can sometimes be
very tricky. :-(  Here's the doc pointer:

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.3/gcc/Attribute-Syntax.html#Attribute%20Syntax

I've always found it best to use __attribute__((__progmem__)) as the
last part of the declaration:

const int foo PROGMEM = 42;
