Building a Gnulib testdir on macOS 12.5, I see many compilation errors like
this one:
../../gltests/test-dirent-c++.cc:28:1: error: expected expression
SIGNATURE_CHECK (GNULIB_NAMESPACE::opendir, DIR *, (const char *));
^
../../gltests/signature.h:39:3: note: expanded from macro 'SIGNATURE_CHECK'
SIGNATURE_CHECK1 (fn, ret, args, __LINE__)
^
../../gltests/signature.h:44:3: note: expanded from macro 'SIGNATURE_CHECK1'
SIGNATURE_CHECK2 (fn, ret, args, id) /* macroexpand line */
^
../../gltests/signature.h:46:3: note: expanded from macro 'SIGNATURE_CHECK2'
_GL_UNUSED static ret (*signature_check ## id) args = fn
^
../config.h:7536:20: note: expanded from macro '_GL_UNUSED'
#define _GL_UNUSED _GL_ATTRIBUTE_MAYBE_UNUSED
^
../config.h:7523:40: note: expanded from macro '_GL_ATTRIBUTE_MAYBE_UNUSED'
# define _GL_ATTRIBUTE_MAYBE_UNUSED [[__maybe_unused__]]
^
The macroexpanded line is:
[[__maybe_unused__]] static DIR * (*signature_check28) (const char *) =
gnulib::Opendir;
The fix is to define _GL_ATTRIBUTE_MAYBE_UNUSED differently, with this
compiler.

Fix compilation errors in C++ mode on macOS 12.5.
* m4/gnulib-common.m4 (gl_COMMON_BODY): Don't define
_GL_ATTRIBUTE_MAYBE_UNUSED to [[__maybe_unused__]] if the compiler is
an Apple variant of clang.
