GCC: fix compilation on MacOS 10.15
MacOS 10.15 now includes "aligned_alloc".  Disagreement between the
headers and the binaries about whether aligned_alloc exists leads to
a compilation failure (see #73319 and the detailed comment in this
commit).

# NOTE 2020/3/18: This environment variable prevents configure scripts from
# detecting the presence of aligned_alloc on Darwin. There are many facts that
# collectively make this fix necessary:
# - Nix uses a fixed set of standard library headers on all MacOS systems,
# regardless of their actual version. (Nix uses version 10.12 headers.)
# - Nix uses the native standard library binaries for the build system. That
# means the standard library binaries may not exactly match the standard
# library headers.
# - The aligned_alloc procedure is present in MacOS 10.15 (Catalina), but not
# in earlier versions. Therefore on Catalina systems, aligned_alloc is
# linkable (i.e. present in the binary libraries) but not present in the
# headers.
# - Configure scripts detect a procedure's existence by checking whether it is
# linkable. They do not check whether it is present in the headers.
# - GCC throws an error during compilation because aligned_alloc is not
# defined in the headers---even though the linker can see it.
#
# This fix would not be necessary if ANY of the above were false:
# - If Nix used native headers for each different MacOS version, aligned_alloc
# would be in the headers on Catalina.
# - If Nix used the same libary binaries for each MacOS version, aligned_alloc
# would not be in the library binaries.
# - If Catalina did not include aligned_alloc, this wouldn't be a problem.
# - If the configure scripts looked for header presence as well as
# linkability, they would see that aligned_alloc is missing.
# - If GCC allowed implicit declaration of symbols, it would not fail during
# compilation even if the configure scripts did not check header presence.
