We cannot build these files with clang as it does not allow altivec
instructions in assembly when -msoft-float is passed.

This is a workaround until the issue is resolved in clang.

Hopefully we can have this fixed up soon. I'll try to see who works
on Clang+PPC here and see if they can help move that bug along. Thanks
for the patch!

Note that the top level makefile detects clang via:
ifeq ($(cc-name),clang)
Does that not work here? I'd prefer to keep compiler detection in
Makefiles consistent, if it works?

cc-name is being removed in favor of CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG:
