Hi Niels,
Thanks for folding the fix in, I appreciate that.
Apologies for the confusion on the context. CLT is indeed a reference to Apple's "Command Line Tools" package. As you're likely aware Apple offer both Xcode (which is a full IDE) and the CLT package (which is more or less the absolute minimum set of tools required to do development work on macOS).
Both Xcode & the CLT package provide LLVM, which is where Apple has shipped a stack checking addition which embeds the new symbol into most binaries & libraries. If you'd prefer to reference the LLVM/Clang version rather than the Xcode/CLT version, the string for that is currently: Apple LLVM version 10.0.0 (clang-1000.10.25.5). That string will change over time, but could safely be summarised as Apple LLVM version 10+ or such.
A minor complication trying to describe the new feature in the patch is that Apple have been trying to upstream the change to LLVM for quite some time (https://reviews.llvm.org/D40864#1100905) but it hasn't yet been merged there. Eventually though it seems likely that the feature will be supported in both "Apple LLVM" & LLVM itself, at which point the description I added to `symbols-test` will need updating; I'll do my best to spot if/when that happens.
I think I've managed to add a fair dose of complication to the explanation here but hopefully the context is somewhat clearer. Let me know if not.

With the obvious enough disclaimer that Xcode/CLT 10 are very much beta releases at this point and will remain so for several months yet, I've attached a diff to fix the only current build issue with the new developer tools available for macOS 10.13/10.14.
Thanks, looks like an easy fix. Applied
Context isn't entirely clear to me, though. "CLT" means command line tools, it seems, it's not a particular piece of software? So I take it the name and version of the compiler package is simply "Xcode 10"?
