Funny clang behaviour

We upgraded the FreeBSD GMP test systems from 11.2 to 11.3 and 12.0 to
12.1 and with those upgrades came clang 8.0.

We got some really novel failures when using clang++ for compiling GMP.
It spews out binary error messages which appears to be dumps of its own
RAM!  What clang actually thinks is wromg is anyone's guess.

I moved the failures to the "expected" failure section of
<https://gmplib.org/devel/tm/gmp/date.html>.
