If I understand correctly, the `-mstack-protector-guard` option is 
already always filtered out by `bindgen_skip_c_flags` in 
`rust/Makefile`, regardless of architecture. Therefore, we don't need to 
do anything more, right?

That makes sense. I might need to check the version of libclang for each 
extension that passes the cc-option check for GCC to ensure it supports 
them.

I'm working on a patch, and intend to output an error message in 
`arch/riscv/Makefile` then exit 1 when detecting an incompatible 
gcc+libclang mix in use.
