Hmph. If you explicitly say -Wno-error, does the error drop back down
to being a warning?

The latest thing available to the unwashed masses seems to be
Xcode 11.7 with

$ clang --version
Apple clang version 11.0.3 (clang-1103.0.32.62)

At least, that's what I got when I reinstalled Xcode just now on
my Catalina machine. It does not exhibit this behavior. I see

$ clang -c c.c
c.c:1:14: warning: implicitly declaring library function 'exit' with type 'void
(int) __attribute__((noreturn))' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
int main() { exit(0); }
^
c.c:1:14: note: include the header <stdlib.h> or explicitly provide a
declaration for 'exit'
1 warning generated.

and PG configure and build goes through just fine.

Smells like an Apple bug from here. Surely they're not expecting
that anyone will appreciate -Werror suddenly being the default.
