/* Other compilers (than clang), that claims to
   implement C11 *and* define __STDC_IEC_559_COMPLEX__ - don't have
   issue with CMPLX().  This is specific to glibc & clang combination:
   https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26287

   Here we fallback to using __builtin_complex(), available in clang
   v12+.  Else CMPLX implemented following C11 6.2.5p13: "Each complex type
   has the same representation and alignment requirements as an array
   type containing exactly two elements of the corresponding real type;
   the first element is equal to the real part, and the second element
   to the imaginary part, of the complex number.
