Proposed resolution:

Add to [support.start.term] Table 20 (Header <cstdlib> synopsis) Functions:

_Exit

Add before the description of abort(void):

void _Exit [[noreturn]] (int status)
The function _Exit(int status) has additional behavior in this International Standard:

The program is terminated without executing destructors for objects of automatic, thread, or static storage duration and without calling the functions passed to atexit() ([basic.start.term]).

The function _Exit does not appear to be defined in this standard. Should it be added to the table of functions included-by-reference to the C standard?
