Re: [PATCH] cfi: fix conditions in HAVE_CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS

[Matthew Maurer]

This makes sense, as some folks have a Rust compiler they know has the
fix, but build system detection for it isn't there yet. This lets them
override availability if needed.

That said, we should definitely be sure to get this back to a
non-configurable toggle once the LLVM version detection is in.
