Graal JVMCI 8 and MacOS 10.13?

[Yudi Zheng]

Hi Stefan,

The problem might be the version of clang in the system. The one I am using points to the xcode one:

> $ which clang
> /usr/bin/clang
> $ clang -v
> Apple LLVM version 9.0.0 (clang-900.0.39.2)
> Target: x86_64-apple-darwin17.4.0
> Thread model: posix
> InstalledDir: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin

homebrew might also install clang at /usr/local/bin:

> $ /usr/local/bin/clang -v
> clang version 3.6.2 (tags/RELEASE_362/final)
> Target: x86_64-apple-darwin17.4.0
> Thread model: posix


If I change clang to the homebrew one, it gives me the following error message when compiling TIP of graal-jvmci-8
