rust: fix bindgen build error with fstrict-flex-arrays
Commit df8fc4e ("kbuild: Enable -fstrict-flex-arrays=3") enabled
'-fstrict-flex-arrays=3' globally, but bindgen does not recognized this
compiler option, triggering the following build error:
error: unknown argument: '-fstrict-flex-arrays=3', err: true
[ Miguel: Commit df8fc4e ("kbuild: Enable -fstrict-flex-arrays=3")
did it so only conditionally (i.e. only if the C compiler supports
it). This explains what Andrea was seeing: he was compiling with a
modern enough GCC, which enables the option, but with an old enough
Clang. Andrea confirmed this was the case: he was using Clang 14 with
GCC 13; and that Clang 15 worked for him.
While it is possible to construct code (see mailing list for an
example I came up with) where this could break, it is fairly
contrived, and anyway GCC-built kernels with Rust enabled should
only be used for experimentation until we get support for
`rustc_codegen_gcc` and/or GCC Rust. So let's add this for the
time being in case it helps somebody. ]
Add '-fstrict-flex-arrays' to the list of cflags that should be ignored
by bindgen.
