Ah seems we do have __attribute__((no_selector))
(https://reviews.llvm.org/D46300,
https://releases.llvm.org/7.0.0/tools/clang/docs/AttributeReference.html#no-stack-protector-clang-no-stack-protector-clang-no-stack-protector)
which differs from GCC attribute name.

I'm still catching up on the thread (and my cat is insistent about
sleeping on my lap while I'm trying to use my laptop), but I like
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200417190607.GY2424@tucnak/T/#m23d197d3a66a6c7d04c5444af4f51d940895b412
if it additionally defined __no_stack_protector for compiler-clang.h.

Seems fine? https://godbolt.org/z/VEoEfw
(try commenting out the __attribute__((noreturn)) to observe the tail calls.
