Clang patches landed about two weeks ago, so they are already in Clang
nightly builds. libbpf CI should work fine as it uses clang-12 nightly
builds.

There is a way to detect built-ins availability (__has_builtin macro,
[0]) from C code. If we want to do it from Makefile, though, we'd need
to do feature detection similar to how we did reallocarray and
libbpf-elf-mmap detection I just removed in the other patch set :).
Then we'll also need to somehow blacklist tests. Maintaining that
would be a pain, honestly. So far selftests/bpf assumed the latest
Clang, though, so do you think we should change that, or you were
worried that patches hadn't landed yet?
