Subject: [PATCH 4.14 001/100] efi/libstub: arm: support building with clang

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alistair Strachan <astrachan@...gle.com>

(commit 41f1c48420709470c51ee0e54b6fb28b956bb4e0 upstream)

When building with CONFIG_EFI and CONFIG_EFI_STUB on ARM, the libstub
Makefile would use -mno-single-pic-base without checking it was
supported by the compiler. As the ARM (32-bit) clang backend does not
support this flag, the build would fail.

This changes the Makefile to check the compiler's support for
-mno-single-pic-base before using it, similar to c1c386681bd7 ("ARM:
8767/1: add support for building ARM kernel with clang").
