It looks like there is now a standard header called <bit>. We also have a 
test bit.c that compiles to bit. And we have a -I flag pointing to the 
location of this second bit file. Now, when clang sees #include <bit> 
inside the libc++ headers, it finds this binary file instead of the 
standard header. I think we should fix that on the GMP side. The easiest 
would be to rename the test from bit to something less common.
