I assume this is the arm support, i.e. commit ccb8ce526807 ("ARM: 9441/1:
rust: Enable Rust support for ARMv7").

Clang does not seem to support `-mno-fdpic`, thus you probably need to add it to
`bindgen_skip_c_flags` in `rust/Makefile` so that it gets skipped when the C
compiler is GCC.

If you do so, please double-check if the flag could potentially alter the ABI in
a way that `bindgen` would generate the wrong bindings.

I hope that helps!

Cheers,
Miguel
