Librdkafka does not compile on OSX 10.8.5

Hi
I try to build the library in my Mac, but it failed. My mac info is:

Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.2.79) (based on LLVM 3.3svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin12.5.0
Thread model: posix

the error message is:

Try: CC=clang make

or add -Wno-gnu-designator to CFLAGS in Makefile

Hi @xiaojun789, could you update your master checkout and try again.
Compile support for OSX 10.9 was just merged and I hope it fixes 10.8 aswell.
