(+cc linux-um, but I assume this will probably go in via the Rust tree, anyway.)

Thanks very much: this is enough to get Rust-for-Linux working with
gcc under 64-bit UML on my system.

However, this is actually a bit of a coincidence -- and there are
still some issues with 32-bit UML -- as the UML Rust flags are
currently conditionally set if CC_IS_CLANG. This is my fault (it was
to work around some bugs with older gcc), and I've sent a patch[1] to
fix it. (Though note that 32-bit UML/Rust still hits issues with
atomics in the block driver, so you'll need to disable that for now.)

Regardless, this is a significant improvement, thanks!
