This is a second reply to the same email.

This works. Specifically, only the __builtin_clrsb* are an issue,
while the others are fine.

'gcc --version' prints:

Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple LLVM version 10.0.0 (clang-1000.11.45.5)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin17.7.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin


'clang --version' is identical, without the 1st line (Configured...).


I don't think that clang 10 is particularly old, but that's
philosophical. It would be nice to be able to use Apple clang 10
to build tcc and pass the tests, but I don't know how to make it work
(I didn't manage to use __has_builtin to detect existence).

FWIW, I did try clang 9 and clang 11 on Debian stable (11.6), and
with both clang versions the tests do pass (and __builtin_clrsb*
exit), so I don't know why Apple's clang 10 doesn't have these.

Either way, it would be nice to be able to pass the tests with
Apple clang 10.

I've pushed autodetection of osx <= 10 to mob as e2152352 .
