Actually, I installed Fedora 24 x86_64 under Virtualbox on a MacPro
last night and tested a build of guile 2.0.13 using clang 3.8 which
also produced clean test suite results for srfi-18.test.

Interesting, on darwin15, I found that the srfi-18.test failures don't
occur if the clang compiler is passed '-femulated-tls' on CFLAGS. The
configure run still sets SCM_I_GSC_HAVE_THREAD_STORAGE_CLASS='1' with
that flag.
