when building latest GHC on Mac with Xcode 8: Symbol not found: _clock_gettime

[John Leo]

Thanks very much Brandon for your fast reply!  That did the trick.  I had
to rerun configure as well since when I didn't do that I got a different
but seemingly related error.  But after clean, configure and make
everything seems to work again.
