The top level Makefile exports $(CLANG_FLAGS), which should contain
`-no-integrated-as`. Is that available here? If so, then you can
just add `$(CLANG_FLAGS)`, no compiler check needed.

If not, maybe the test for CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG is cleaner?

Thanks for the patch, and helping test asm goto in Clang!
