That's an incorrect assumption on my part, although clang produces object files
without error. (for -c) it seems that the static linker cannot consume them.
On Darwin16 (and Dominique reports similar on D17):
For -mcmodel=medium and -mcmodel=large we get relocation fails at link time.
So, it seems that we should;
(a) disable tests using -mcmodel={medium,large} for current darwin
(b) possibly modify the darwin-specific option parsing to warn that these are
unsupported and reset the value to "small".
