Yes, It seems that the all __attributes__ now must come AFTER the definition, not before.

This means that all of libc must be changed from:
This is what I figured out from digging into the include files...

__NORETURN void exit (); 

   to

void exit () __NORETURN;

     This __NORETURN is defined as '__attribute__((volatile)) when working with
   2.7.0 or newer. So those 'extern __NORETURN void ...' become:
   'extern __attribute__ ((volatile)) void ...' that gcc-2.7.2 doesn't like...
   (don't ask me why...), so just change the places so the protos say like:
   'extern void __attribute__((volatile)) functionx(parameters);' or could the
   end before ';' be a more suitable place for the '__NORETURN'...

     If you get this compiled and to work somehow, I would be interested, I'm
   thinking to make a cross-compiler from i386-ibcs2-world to Sparc, so a free
   C-library would be needed... I have fighted with the SCO/SysV port of glibc-1.09
   lately, using 2.7.2 to compile it...
