Wow, [1] is interesting:
// For iOS and watchOS, also error about implicit function declarations,
// as that can impact calling conventions.
if (!isTargetMacOSBased())
CC1Args.push_back("-Werror=implicit-function-declaration");
I wonder if the new Xcode version dropped the not-macOS restriction
on doing this? It's not much of a stretch of the imagination
to guess that the iOS/watchOS issue is related to Apple's ABI
conventions for ARM, in which case they might have to do the
same for macOS to get it to run on ARM ... which we can expect
that Big Sur is ready for.
Anyway, I'm now satisfied that we understand where the problem really
lies, so +1 for back-patching 1c0cf52b39ca3.
