True, currently everything is fine if the "noreturn" function is defined 
in os/log.c, because that is compiled with "-mapcs-frame". The patch 
introduces the following change:

-extern _X_EXPORT void OsAbort (void);
+extern _X_EXPORT void OsAbort (void) _noreturn_attribute;


OsAbort is defined in os/utils.c so some changes are needed to prevent 
problems with ARM.

1. Move OsAbort to os/log.c.
2. Or add os/utils.c to the list of files compiled with "-mapcs-frame" 
in os/Makefile.am.
3. Or remove the noreturn attribute for OsAbort.
