stdnoreturn: port to newer GCCs * m4/stdnoreturn.m4 (gl_STDNORETURN_H): Avoid problems with bleeding-edge GCC that complains about 'int _Noreturn foo (void);'. Problem reported by Jim Meyering in <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-08/msg00121.html>. Also, rename the 'test' function to a void a clash with the already-supplied 'main' function; this fixes a bug that incorrectly rejected GCC 4.7.1's <stdnoreturn.h>. * doc/posix-headers/stdnoreturn.texi (stdnoreturn.h): Document GCC problem.
