The failure is  again a bug in clang compiler of defining __GNUC__
when they don't fully support GNU C if they want to say it is not a
bug to define __GNUC__ I give up.  This is just like the bug a while
back where ICC did the same thing. We need to shame compiler
developers to stop saying they support GNU C without really supporting
it.
Work arounds for broken commercial compilers is something which we
tried back in the 90s; We really should not still be keeping around
any work around for them either.

Thanks,
