Rebecca,

FYI /usr/bin/gcc has been a redirector into clang for a lot of years. 

The build picks different default sets of complier flags based on build type. 
There is already code that assumes gcc == clang here [1]

I think the issue is the check that is wrapping "BUILD_CFLAGS += 
-Wno-error=stringop-overflow”. It needs to skip the check on macOS.
