Subject: [PATCH v3] MIPS: Make MIPS32_O32 depends on !CC_IS_CLANG

When building with Clang [1]:

$ make CC=clang loongson3_defconfig
$ make CC=clang

there exists the following error:

  Checking missing-syscalls for O32
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
error: ABI 'o32' is not supported on CPU 'mips64r2'
make[1]: *** [Kbuild:48: missing-syscalls] Error 1
make: *** [arch/mips/Makefile:419: archprepare] Error 2

This is a known bug [2] with Clang, as Simon Atanasyan said,
"There is no plan on support O32 for MIPS64 due to lack of
resources".

It is not a good idea to remove CONFIG_MIPS32_O32=y directly
in defconfig because GCC works, as Nathan said, the config
should not even be selectable when building with Clang, so
just make MIPS32_O32 depends on !CC_IS_CLANG.
