commit a3046a618a284579d1189af8711765f553eed707 upstream.

As part of the Rust support for UML, we disable SSE (and similar flags)
to match the normal x86 builds. This both makes sense (we ideally want a
similar configuration to x86), and works around a crash bug with SSE
generation under Rust with LLVM.

However, this breaks compiling stdlib.h under gcc < 11, as the x86_64
ABI requires floating-point return values be stored in an SSE register.
gcc 11 fixes this by only doing register allocation when a function is
actually used, and since we never use atof(), it shouldn't be a problem:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=99652

Nevertheless, only disable SSE on clang setups, as that's a simple way
of working around everyone's bugs.
