Because #defining noinline in user code is legitimate, but #defining noinline is not, because such names are reserved. So it should be less likely that attributes with underscores interact with user code.
The documentation curiously doesn't mention this. But it's used by system headers as well as boost in a couple places. I tried it as far back as 3.3 (the oldest that I have around), and it seems well supported.

Fixed in trunka and release branches.

Why is the underscore version preferred? I can see no clue in GCC documentation and it might affect other compilers that support GCC syntax.
