Clang needs "-meabi gnu" flag to emit calls to "__gnu_mcount_nc".
Otherwise, it inserts calls to undefined "mcount".
kernel/softirq.o: In function `_local_bh_enable':
...
undefined reference to `mcount'
"-meabi gnu" resolves link failures. However, Clang does not implement
calls to "__gnu_mcount_nc" correctly. It does not save the link
register on the stack, which corrupts the stack. The resulting kernel
does not boot.
Disable FUNCTION_TRACER support when building with Clang.
