Look like 2.7 introduced this feature from looking at the release notes.
In 2.8 __FUNCTION__ and __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ became functions instead of
strings.  I'll add in the tst like this:

 #if defined(__GNUC__) && \
     (__GNUC__ == 2 && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 7) || \
     __GNUC__ > 2)

Hmm.  That is how I originally tried to use it.  It is also annoying that
I couldn't find a way to stringize __LINE__ and then concatenate it to
__FILE__.  But such things can be worked around.
