Add a configure check for __builtin_unreachable instead of basing its availability on the __GNUC__ version. On OS X using gcc (a real gcc, not the bundled version that's just a gcc front-end) leads to a linker assertion: https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/issues/266 It turns out that this is caused by a gcc bug resulting from the use of __builtin_unreachable(): https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57438 To work around this bug, check that __builtin_unreachable() actually works at configure time, and if it doesn't use abort() instead. The check is based on https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57438#c21. With this `make check` passes with a homebrew installed gcc-5 and gcc-6. |

jemalloc is a general purpose malloc(3) implementation that emphasizes fragmentation avoidance and scalable concurrency support. jemalloc first came into use as the FreeBSD libc allocator in 2005, and since then it has found its way into numerous applications that rely on its predictable behavior. In 2010 jemalloc development efforts broadened to include developer support features such as heap profiling, Valgrind integration, and extensive monitoring/tuning hooks. Modern jemalloc releases continue to be integrated back into FreeBSD, and therefore versatility remains critical. Ongoing development efforts trend toward making jemalloc among the best allocators for a broad range of demanding applications, and eliminating/mitigating weaknesses that have practical repercussions for real world applications. The COPYING file contains copyright and licensing information. The INSTALL file contains information on how to configure, build, and install jemalloc. The ChangeLog file contains a brief summary of changes for each release. URL: http://www.canonware.com/jemalloc/
