Do you mind adding the following link tags:
Link: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:2196a681d7810ad8b227bf983f38ba716620545e
Link: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=102952
Link: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52323
If the feature would be helpful to implement in Clang, would you mind
keeping the cc-option, but moving the check outside of the `ifdef
CONFIG_CC_IS_GCC` block? That way, we don't need to revisit the
Makefile?
(Tangential: I wonder why RETPOLINE_CFLAGS aren't defined in
arch/x86/Makefile; they seem to be x86 specific at the moment).
With the above link tags, and with or without moving this outside the
gcc-specific guard:
