If the ultimate goal is not evaluate cc-option more than once,
removing cc-option from both KBUILD_CFLAGS and KBUILD_AFLAGS for clang
is the better approach; we always want those for clang
unconditionally. And if you by chance have an ancient version of clang
that doesn't support those flags, you wont be able to compile a kernel
anyways. Eventually we want to get Clang's integrated assembler in
shape to be used to assemble the kernel, but I think we're a ways off
there still.
