After much investigation it turns out ‘ccache’ is the problem here. If ccache is enabled with clang builds the __GNUC__ is defined some how, I never did find the location.

I do not use ccache with clang because it is not known to work.
But if you are sure it can work with few configuration, I would be glad
to have a complete description.
However it is not related to DPDK at all. That's why a nice email well
written and explained on this ml looks enough to be found via Google.
Thanks
