Ack, tested OK on OS X 10.9 and a Linux smoke test.

I was able to test _Noreturn.h through GnuTLS. I was not able to test
gnulib-common.m4. (I'm still learning how to test Gnulib).

I think CentOS 5 and NetBSD or FreeBSD would be good platforms to test
also. I need some time to adjust my scripts. Recent package upgrades
have broken some compiles.

One warning.... I've never found __apple_build_version__ documented
anywhere. I learned of __apple_build_version__ looking at diff's of
'clang -dM -E'. With that said, I've been using
__apple_build_version__ for 5 or 10 years without a problem. Apple
also uses __apple_build_version__ in places like
https://opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/xnu-4570.61.1/san/kasan_internal.h.auto.html
.

Yeah, I have my feelings on it, too.
