Technically, IIRC llvm may make different decisions on libcall
optimizations based on the libc part of the target triple.  For
instance, is bcmp defined in that libc or not?  That's why we specify
-gnu or -musl (I forgot we did that for hexagon) explicitly rather
than leave that part of the triple blank.  Minutia that doesn't need
to be in this commit message, but now it's explicitly documented on
LKML and linkable-to.
