It seems this is actually a pre-processor parsing bug. It hits
the bug *before* the logic is evaluated. My current solution in
the above PR is to avoid `__has_attribute` and use this:

    #elif defined __clang__ && (__clang_major__ > 3 || \
          (__clang_major__ == 3 && __clang_minor__ >= 6)) /* clang */

which I have tested with clang 3.6. If someone has an earlier version
of clang and can verify that it work, I'll drop the version number.
