OS X host uses llvm and I am not sure if these builtins are
always available.

So it replaces an include file dependency by a compiler
built-in dependency. IMHO my approach is more general
and should cover a broader range of compile hosts.

This is a tool compiled by HOSTCC to be run on the build
host - so I think we can't assume to have a gcc host compiler
(while for the CC cross-compiler we can).

Thanks,
Nikolaus Schaller
