Clang does not support -mprofile-kernel.
AIUI they would like us to switch to -fpatchable-function-entry which
could then be supported on GCC & clang.
That would be a nice cleanup but also a bunch of work that no one has
found time to do.
https://github.com/linuxppc/issues/issues/447
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/57031
So for now we need to keep the -pg based version.
cheers
