[PATCH] arch: um: Pass the correct Rust target and options with gcc

In order to work around some issues with disabling SSE on older versions
of gcc (compilation would fail upon seeing a function declaration
containing a float, even if it was never called or defined), the
corresponding CFLAGS and RUSTFLAGS were only set when using clang.
However, this led to two problems:
- Newer gcc versions also wouldn't get the correct flags, despite not
having the bug.
- The RUSTFLAGS for setting the rust target definition were not set,
despite being unrelated. This works by chance for x86_64, as the
built-in default target is close enough, but not for 32-bit x86.
Move the target definition outside the conditional block, and update the
condition to take into account the gcc version.
Fixes: a3046a618a28 ("um: Only disable SSE on clang to work around old GCC bugs")

When combined with Thomas' patch [1], this gets Rust/UML building
correctly with gcc. (Indeed, Thomas' patch works fine by itself for the
64-bit case, and the 32-bit build is broken anyway due to the Rust block
driver not supporting 64-bit atomics on 32-bit systems.)
Given the other patches will probably go in via the rust-for-linux tree,
I'd be happy for this to do so as well (given it mostly affects Rust),
but it's not a disaster if they go in independently: there shouldn't be
any merge conflicts, and they work independently.
Note also that I don't actually have an old enough gcc nearby, so
haven't actually tested this on gcc < 11. So please let me know if this
breaks for you.
Cheers,
