But binary groups are discriminated against :(

The attached patch should help here.

I suppose one more additional helper wouldn't be bad to have:

#define ATTRIBUTE_(BIN_)GROUPS_R[O/W](_name(, _size)) \
ATTRIBUTE_(BIN_)ATTR_R[O/W](_name, _size); \
ATTRIBUTE_(BIN_)GROUPS(_name)

but wasn't sure if that wasn't a little overkill. I gladly add it in an 
additional patch.
