Thanks, so Bug#43152 is due to verify.h's recent attempt to use __builtin_assume 
on Clang. As I understand it, using __builtin_assume was only for minor 
performance improvements when compiling with older Clang versions, which does 
not appear to be worth the software debugging hassle that we've been enduring on 
GNU Emacs master. So I reverted those changes to verify.h in Gnulib and updated 
GNU Emacs to match. I'll cc this to Bruno Haible, who wrote those 
__builtin_assume changes.
