+ + add workaround for breakage of POSIX makefiles by recent binutils
+ change.

+
+20150912
+ + fixes for configure/build using clang on OSX (prompted by report by

Joshua Root).
20150815
+ modify check_existence() in db_iterator.c to simply check if the
path is a directory or file, according to the need. Checking for
