What is this (( ))?

They are GCC internal “magic”, i.e. part of the compiler implementation itself.

See this page which talks about their use. The macro is used to mark types for garbage-collection purposes. There can be arguments too, see this page for details.

UPDATE:: As pointed out by Drew Dorman in a comment, the actual double parenthesis are not part of the “internalness” of the GNU implementation; they’re commonly used when you want to collect an entire list of arguments into a single argument for the called macro. This can be useful sometimes when wrapping e.g. printf(), too. See this question, for more on this technique.
