v2: llvm has been updated to use the same thunk names as gcc.
    Tested with:
    clang version 7.0.0
	(https://git.llvm.org/git/clang.git/
		848874aed95a913fb45f363120500cebfe54e2ef)
	(https://git.llvm.org/git/llvm.git/
		3afd566557f3616881505db0d69f5d19bf55ae14)
    cross-checked with gcc 7.3.0 (x86_64-linux-gcc.br_real (Buildroot
    2018.02-rc1) 7.3.0).

Tested with 64-bit builds only; 32-bit images fail to build with clang
with various unrelated errors and are difficult to test.

I had to change '+=' to '=' below since make otherwise sets
RETPOLINE_CFLAGS to " ", and the subsequent ifneq would always match.
This is also the reason for the "ifeq ($(RETPOLINE_CFLAGS),)".
If there is another/different/better way to handle this, please let
me know.

There are curently lots of warnings when building an image with clang.

./include/linux/init.h:134:6: warning:
	unknown attribute 'indirect_branch' ignored

I was inclined to add "&& !defined(__clang__)" to the condition for the
__noretpoline define to fix the problem, but concluded that this should
be a separate patch unless it can be addressed in clang.
