Looking through the git history the inclusion of "clang" in
this workaround is because a bug was noticed with the FreeBSD
clang which prompted commit 6c78f29a2424622bfc9c3 in 2013.
It's quite tempting to assume newer clangs have fixed this,
but still I guess it's safest to leave the workaround in place...
