Funny clang behaviour

  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.

What you say makes sense, but clang's behaviour does not.

I added broad testing using C++ compilers for GMP now; there are 56
variants.  Only clang 8 on FreeBSD fails.  All gcc versions (at least 6
to 9) and older and newer clang worked fine.

It is possible that it is timing-dependent; if a parallel compile
generates ./bit late enough for other compiles to not see it, things
will work.  But I don't see why all 4 clang8/fbsd compiles fail and all
the other 52 compiles work.
