Need to remove C 11 Generic Macros or fix build system

[markplagge]

Currently NeMo uses C11 generic macros for file writes and for debug printing. Due to lack of support of this feature, we should remove these macros and replace them with standard functions or change the build system to handle the lack of _generic support.
The BGQ compiler supports _generic, but it is implemented in a different way than GCC. Clang and GCC differ in their implementation and handling of char*.

Yeah - stick with nothing more than C99 standard stuff. The C11 extensions are not well supported in a standard way :-)> Happy hacking .. Chris
