Out of these, only rawmemchr.c and strtoimax.c are not compiled.
The rest are compiled with both Clang and GCC.

I suspect there's a different culprit: skimming through the attached
build output and config.log files, one set with Clang and the other with
GCC, I see that, in the GCC case, static_assert is determined to be an
<assert.h> macro, whereas in the Clang case the static_assert test
fails.  As a result, gl_ASSERT_H sets GL_GENERATE_ASSERT_H=true.
Is that correct?
