In binutils' include/ansidecl.h header, there is this code fragment:

/* Attribute `returns_nonnull' was valid as of gcc 4.9.  */
#ifndef ATTRIBUTE_RETURNS_NONNULL
# if (GCC_VERSION >= 4009)
#  define ATTRIBUTE_RETURNS_NONNULL __attribute__ ((__returns_nonnull__))
# else
#  define ATTRIBUTE_RETURNS_NONNULL
# endif /* GNUC >= 4.9 */
#endif /* ATTRIBUTE_RETURNS_NONNULL */

For some reason this doesn't seem to be picked up by your ports build.
For example, it is possible that your build picks up an ansidecl.h from
somewhere else, so search your system for duplicate copies of this
header.

Also, can you preprocess the file with -E, or use -save-temps to save
the intermediate result?  Then you should be able to see what the macro
expands to, if anything.
