This breaks the build for clang versions 16 and earlier because they do
not support '.option arch' and it is used in CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_ZBA, which
has no dependencies and it is default on.

$ rg 'OPTION_ARCH|ZBA' .config

Should it grow a dependency on AS_HAS_OPTION_ARCH or should there be a
different fix?
