From config.log:

FreeBSD clang version 6.0.0 (tags/RELEASE_600/final 326565) (based on
LLVM 6.0.0)
Target: x86_64-unknown-freebsd11.2
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /usr/bin

The option -Wused-but-marked-unused is indirectly activated by
-Weverything, which is set during the ./configure run (kind of a
manywarnings module). So it's not part of $CFLAGS or $CPPFLAGS but later
used as part of AM_CFLAGS.

I do not see that warning on Linux, with any version of clang (3.8, ...
9) or gcc (4.3, ..., 9.2). And I wonder why do the c_ macros are marked
UNUSED at all (I assume that gnulib does it for some reason) ?
