The CI failures are caused by an automatic update of the Xcode version and can be ignored.

@tstellar Just wanted to bring this to your attention -- would be awesome if we could get this merged! We discovered this pretty late in the process, unfortunately, but it breaks a few users (and results in frustratingly cryptic linker errors).

@tstellar Friendly ping. :)

The `_LIBCPP_DISABLE_AVAILABILITY` macro was removed in afae1a5 as an
intended no-op. It turns out that some projects are making use of that
macro to work around a Clang bug with availability annotations that
still exists: llvm#134151.

Since that Clang bug still hasn't been fixed, I feel that we must sill
honor that unfortunate macro until we've figured out how to get rid of
it without breaking code.
