Failing to make example/bernoulli/bernoulli on CmdStan fresh installation

I fresh installed CmdStan using these instructions, following the git clone procedure on MacOS BigSur 11.2.3. When I compile the example to check whether the installation was successful, I get the following error:

$ make examples/bernoulli/bernoulli

My compiler and make versions are

$ clang++ --version
Apple clang version 12.0.0 (clang-1200.0.32.29)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin20.3.0
(...)

$ make --version
GNU Make 3.81
(...)

I also tried checking out from develop to release/v2.26.1 branch, but the error persists. However, compilation of the example bernoulli model is successful if I decompress this tarball and work from there.

While this does not prevents me from using stan, it is weird that I can’t build from the git repo. Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong?

Hi, this is an issue with current develop,one of the change in the last few days do not work with recent versions of clang, I think this one might be causing it: Adds Serializer and virtual functions for new transform inits by SteveBronder · Pull Request #3019 · stan-dev/stan · GitHub

We are working on fixing it.

Our tests run with various versions of g++ and with clang+±6.0.
