I do agree that one is dense, but aims for the same thing, and a bit
more.  It might be easier to read if written in longhand, but ...

ifeq ($(uname_s),Darwin)
ifeq ($(filter clang12,$(COMPILER_FEATURES)),)
DEVELOPER_CFLAGS += -Wno-missing-braces
endif
else
ifeq ($(filter clang9,$(COMPILER_FEATURES)),)
DEVELOPER_CFLAGS += -Wno-missing-braces
endif
endif

... we'd need to repeat ourselves, so...
