You're technically correct in regards to Mach, but in the context of Mac OS X a very large percentage of the kernel is composed of BSD-derived code.

Unfortunately, none of this is particularly relevant to clang, as the kernel design (in respect to Mach or BSD) really has little bearing on its compiliability.

[Edit]

I'm very surprised that this was downvoted to 0. The discussion was in context of Mac OS X, and the technical veracity is easily confirmed:
