I'm new to PostgreSQL but not to Unix or databases, and am reading the (wonderful) docs and learning. I tried to determine which mailing list to send this to, and this one seems to fit best.
Just for fun, I am trying to build postgres from source on FreeBSD 11. Yes, I know I don't need to, and I have already installed the 10.3 server and client packages, and they run fine. I did a 'git clone' today, and have hours-old source code.
So, I install the prereqs, and did a 'configure' and 'make', and expected it to 'just work'. However, I get this compile error:
cc -I/usr/local/include -I../../src/port -DFRONTEND -I../../src/include -c -o pg_crc32c_sse42.o pg_crc32c_sse42.c

I googled, and search the archives, and don't see anything applicable. My C compiler is:
FreeBSD clang version 4.0.0 (tags/RELEASE_400/final 297347) (based on LLVM 4.0.0)
