Subject: [PATCH] randstruct: temporarily disable clang support

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

Randstruct with clang is currently unsafe to use in any clang release
that supports it, due to a clang bug that is causing miscompilations:
"-frandomize-layout-seed inconsistently randomizes all-function-pointers
structs" (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/60349).  Disable
it temporarily until the bug is fixed and the fix is released in a clang
version that can be checked for.

Fixes: 035f7f87b729 ("randstruct: Enable Clang support")
