Subject: [PATCH 9/9] kbuild: enable -Wformat-truncation on clang

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

This warning option still produces output on gcc but is now clean when
building with clang, so enable it conditionally on the compiler for now.

As far as I can tell, the remaining warnings with gcc are the result of
analysing the code more deeply across inlining, while clang only does
this within a function.
