I have no idea what this warning is all about, and what exactly triggers it, but it looks like it breaks the

  # Check if the C compiler supports the "visibility" function attribute
  # If supported, defines HAVE_FUNC_ATTRIBUTE_VISIBILITY
  AX_GCC_FUNC_ATTRIBUTE(visibility)

configure check used by Little-CMS (https://github.com/mm2/Little-CMS/blob/a0fc38ddd55a0341dafa7414ac624c1f09271401/configure.ac#L70; e.g. built as part of building LibreOffice), when building on macOS:

That is, the warning output apparently confuses the AX_GCC_FUNC_ATTRIBUTE logic and makes it erroneously assume that Clang does not support __attribute__((visibility)).
