OS X - overloading error in pass-2 core C compiler

[jtulak]

I used the OSX howto steps (the Brew variant). But when I try to compile, no matter whether with STANDALONE=y or n, I get the following errors. Also, I tried it both with and without the patches described in MacPorts section of the link in case the page is incorrectly formatted and the patches belongs to both variants, but it changed nothing.

I suppose I may have something wrong on my side, so I will be thankful for any hint where to look next.

OS X El Capitan, using Brew for dependencies.

Probably duplicate of #45

[valpackett]

GATHER_STATISTICS (this) doesn't seem to have anything to do with ptrdiff_t / __need_size_t (#45).

I'm having this exact problem on FreeBSD 11 right now.
