  switch to do generation-time decision about deprecated(text) attribute usage
  
  GCC/Clang are mostly ABI-compatible, so mixing and linking of artifacts from
  both compilers can be expected, so headers should be compatible, too. Though
  the compiler versions officially supported for KF (and thus ECM)* both
  support __attribute__ ((__deprecated__(text))), so it can be hardcoded into
  the generated header without triggering incompatibilities.
  On Windows mixing compilers seems not expected, so compiler detected at
  generation time can also be expected at any further header usage time.
