Just out of curiosity: What clang version is it?

Yeah, library.m4 isn't too clever about that, so all systems with newer
botan versions need these additional flags.

I'll either adjust the documentation or the script...

Hm.. that's a good hint! I'll check.

`make -j$N` for any N bigger than 1 usually fails hanging at some txt2c

bug in make. Maybe that's related. I see a small chance that's related...

Weird, indeed. Adding to my todo list: Makefile massage
