I'm out of town and don't remember the details of this, but is there a
reason we couldn't simply have an appropriate #ifdef that uses
__attribute((__noreturn__)) instead of [[noreturn]]?  We have plenty
of ifdefs in the tree already to work around deficiencies in various
compilers.  Saying "it's the compiler's fault and we're not going to
work around it" is a significant departure from historical precedent,
and it punishes the wrong people.  Easier than arguing with the GNU
folks about fixing it, too...
