Literally the second example shows a failing case for Clang 5 where GCC is able to statically compute it at compile time.

That sounds like a bug in Clang?

It may not be a bug. The computation of Fibbonacci(10) requires a stack of ten frames. It may be that Clang has a limit on the depth of the stack for pre-compiled code.
