This is clang on osx, kind of.

NixOS.org is packaging lmdb for various "platforms", including osx.  And
we run `make test` to be more confident about the result.  That's what
now broke when we attempt lmdb: 0.9.21 -> 0.9.22 - and this patch fixed
the build (though I didn't really check anything; I don't really have
any osx machine myself).

My experience in general is that clang tries to be compatible with gcc.
