For arm, -D__LINUX_ARM_ARCH__=X is min version used as instruction
set selector and is absolutely required while parsing some parts of
headers. It's present in KBUILD_CFLAGS but not in autoconf.h, so let's
retrieve it from and add to programs cflags. In another case errors
like "SMP is not supported" for armv7 and bunch of other errors are
issued resulting to incorrect final object.

Does the following work exactly like that without shelling out (and
being arguably simpler)?

ARM_ARCH_SELECTOR = $(filter -D__LINUX_ARM_ARCH__%, $(KBUILD_CFLAGS))

+
+CLANG_EXTRA_CFLAGS := $(ARM_ARCH_SELECTOR)
+KBUILD_HOSTCFLAGS := $(ARM_ARCH_SELECTOR)

Isn't this clearing out previous value of KBUILD_HOSTCFLAGS? Is that
intentional, or it was supposed to be += here?

Just left from previous version filtering all -D options.
Will update in next v., SELECTOR also.
