This is a bug in clang 1.0 that was fixed in the llvm 2.7/clang 1.5 timeframe, it didn't
recognize attributes on function pointers properly. clang tries to be as compatible with GCC as
possible so it obviously has to define __GNUC__ ;)

It's a "warning which defaults to an error" you can pacify it by passing -Winvalid-noreturn or
\x10-Wno-invalid-noreturn.

I oppose adding workarounds for obsolete versions of clang, Debian should upgrade their packages to
a more recent release. clang 1.0 had all kinds of weird bugs and shouldn't be used anymore.
