The versions look correct to me. I see the LLVM zihintpause commit [1]
in llvmorg-15.0.0 and I see the binutils zihintpause commit [2] in
binutils-2_36.

[1]: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/005fd8aa702edbc532763038365575da96e5787d
[2]: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=aa881ecde48c7a0224b92e2cfa43b37ee9ec9fa2

Similar comment as patch 1, I think we can just drop the cc-option
checks. Regardless:
