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 breakprograms like 'grep' that require the exitfail.h etc. semantics.

What projects are you thinking about? That is, what current non-glibcprojects have copies of obstack.h and obstack.c in their source code,but not exitfail.h etc.?
