Thanks for the tip.  I see that the problem involves
the exact placement of the ‘_Noreturn’ attribute.  With
‘--std=c99’, it was no problem to place this at the end
of a function declaration:

 void func (void) _Noreturn;

but with ‘--std=c11’ (tested w/ GCC 4.9.2), this is
what's accepted:

 _Noreturn void func (void);
 
I have installed:

 http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/rcs.git/commit/?h=p&id=260704a916

which will go into the next release if there are no
problems.  (If you could verify, that would be great.)
