Hi Hynek,
Thanks for the help, but above command need to run in different way
./configure CC=clang
make 
this allowed me to build the code but when ran test I got following error message
[363/364/3] test_io
python.exe(11411) malloc: *** mmap(size=9223372036854775808) failed (error code=12)
*** error: can't allocate region
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
