Currently rust on arm fails to compile due to '-mno-fdpic'. This flag
disables a GCC feature that we don't want for kernel builds, so let's
skip it as it doesn't apply to Clang.

[ Naresh provided the draft diff [1].
Ben explained [2]:
FDPIC is only relevant with no-MMU targets, and then only for userspace.
When configured for the arm-*-uclinuxfdpiceabi target, GCC enables FDPIC
by default to facilitate compiling userspace programs. FDPIC is never
used for the kernel, and we pass -mno-fdpic when building the kernel to
override the default and make sure FDPIC is disabled.
and [3]:
-mno-fdpic disables a GCC feature that we don't want for kernel builds.
clang does not support this feature, so it always behaves as though
-mno-fdpic is passed. Therefore, it should be fine to mix the two, at
least as far as FDPIC is concerned.
