[Bug libc/6522] abort should not be marked noreturn

To add some more substance: I know of at least 5 different Emacs developers who
have independently wasted in the order of days making sense of failed assertions
because of the useless state of the stack frame for post mortem debugging.

The file DEBUG in the Emacs distribution contains the advice to compile with
-fno-crossjumping which helps somewhat (but most people only read this after
having wasted a lot of time).

So this problem is not academical.  It would be nice to at least get some sort
of minimal feedback.
