BOOST_NORETURN is defined by Boost.Config. You probably didn't update
all submodules. Strange, I thought 'git submodule update --init' would
do that.

I usually use these two commands to perform the complete Boost tree update:

git pull --recurse-submodules
git submodule foreach git merge --ff-only

Note that the second command uses merge.defaultToUpstream = true
setting so that I don't have to specify the branch. If you didn't set
this parameter in your git config and you have all submodules checked
out on a particular branch (e.g. master), you can modify the second
command like this:

git submodule foreach git merge --ff-only origin/master
