I'm looking at this on Debian 9 PPC64le, and the latest git master,
( Thu apr 26, cfa74883e4996dfee2bd6ffaa3b967e5a7941e0b ) and strange
things like AFS_NORETURN are not defined when compiling 'assert.c'
in opr.h

(something is mangling my terminal with cut & paste here..)

opr.h: In function ‘opr_AssertionFailed’:
opr.h:19:52: error: expected declaration specifiers before ‘AFS_NORETURN’
 extern void opr_AssertionFailed(const char *, int) AFS_NORETURN;
                                                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~
opr.h:20:62: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘AFS_NORETURN’
 extern void opr_AssertFailU(const char *, const char *


I don't quite understand how this could not be defined, nor do
I fully understand how 'include/afs/stds.h' is supposed to be included
that does define that.

Any thoughts here?
