When using obstack.h/c in other projects it isn't very nice that gnulib

and _Noreturn.  This only works if a project is willing to import
rather a lot of gnulib configury magic
Sure, but the downside of the proposed change is that it'd break programs like 'grep' that require the exitfail.h etc. semantics.
What projects are you thinking about? That is, what current non-glibc projects have copies of obstack.h and obstack.c in their source code, but not exitfail.h etc.?
