Hmm.. I can repro but I don't see where the string comes from and my
build is definitely using clang:
```
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- -C tools/perf
O=/tmp/perf NO_LIBELF=1 NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 NO_LIBPYTHON=1 CC=clang
CXX=clang++ V=1

/tmp/perf/fixdep.o
GCC: (Debian 13.2.0-13) 13.2.0
/tmp/perf/fixdep-in.o
```
fixdep is being compiled with HOSTCC which isn't clang. Some more digging:
```
$ aarch64-linux-gnu-readelf -p .comment /tmp/perf/perf

String dump of section '.comment':
 [     0]  GCC: (Debian 13.2.0-13) 13.2.0
 [    1f]  Debian clang version 16.0.6 (20+build1)
```
So I suspect that the GCC is coming from crt0.o and that the binary
was built with clang.

Thanks,
Ian
