The i386 regparm bug exposed with FORTIFY_SOURCE with Clang was fixed
in Clang 16[1].

Turns out this is actually incomplete based on my testing, I see the
following warnings with ARCH=i386 allmodconfig with all supported clang
versions:
warning: unsafe strcpy() usage lacked '__write_overflow' symbol in lib/test_fortify/write_overflow-strcpy-lit.c
warning: unsafe strcpy() usage lacked '__write_overflow' symbol in lib/test_fortify/write_overflow-strcpy.c
We also need to drop '-ffreestanding' from arch/x86/Makefile (which Nick
has mentioned in [1]). Time to revive [2]? :) or just do it in this
patch, since it sounds like there was no regression with GCC?

Oh good catch! Probably I need to do this in two patches just to be safe:
- make -ffreestanding be Clang only
- switch to version checks for FORTIFY and freestanding
That will split the changes for GCC and Clang into separate patches. Or maybe that's overkill?

No, I think that is reasonable, as any regressions with GCC would be
noticed by the first change, rather than being mixed in with the second.
It should also make it easier to drop that when the minimum version of
clang gets bumped to 16 (either for the whole kernel or just x86, like
the bump to 15 this dev cycle for the recent stack protector fixes in
-top).
Cheers,
Nathan
