Noticed this build failure on archlinux:base when building with clang:
clang-14: error: optimization flag '-ffat-lto-objects' is not supported [-Werror,-Wignored-optimization-argument]
In tools/perf/util/setup.py we check if clang supports that option, but
since commit 3cad53a6f9cdbafa ("perf python: Account for multiple words
in CC") this got broken as in the common case where CC="clang":
>>> cc="clang"
>>> print(cc.split()[0])
clang
>>> option="-ffat-lto-objects"
>>> print(str(cc.split()[1:]) + option)
[]-ffat-lto-objects
>>>
And then the Popen will call clang with that bogus option name that in
turn will not produce the b"unknown argument" or b"is not supported"
that this function uses to detect if the option is not available and
thus later on clang will be called with an unknown/unsupported option.
Fix it by looking if really there are options in the provided CC
variable, and if so override 'cc' with the first token and append the
options to the 'option' variable.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
