That makes sense for the definition of _Noreturn in
build-aux/snippet/_Noreturn.h, since that file is
copied into installable .h files.  But it makes less
sense for the common Autoconf situation where _Noreturn
is defined in <config.h>; such definitions are not intended
to be copied into installable .h files, and it might make
sense for Autoconf to support that.
