um: Only disable SSE on clang to work around old GCC bugs

As part of the Rust support for UML, we disable SSE (and similar flags)
to match the normal x86 builds. This both makes sense (we ideally want a
similar configuration to x86), and works around a crash bug with SSE
generation under Rust with LLVM.

However, this breaks compiling stdlib.h under gcc < 11, as the x86_64
ABI requires floating-point return values be stored in an SSE register.
gcc 11 fixes this by only doing register allocation when a function is
actually used, and since we never use atof(), it shouldn't be a problem:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=99652

Nevertheless, only disable SSE on clang setups, as that's a simple way
of working around everyone's bugs.

Fixes: 88498186
