That way of doing it is cheating, you know!  :-)

Not, I think.  It just looks too wrong.  ;-)  What I am thinking, by
now, is that it is impossible to keep the cast from dropping the
"__attribute__((__noreturn__))" with the version of GCC that we're
using on the VAX.  If I am right, it seems that the two only ways to
handle this is either to have a "#define __attribute__(x)" in some
suitable header file, #ifdef'ed for the VAX, or to tweak the warning
levels so this particular warning is turned off on the VAX, and on any
other port that uses an equally old GCC.

I'd say the latter -- the former disables other uses of __attribute__().
