Actually, how about we do the test in Kconfig, but ahead of the
script? That will reduce redundancy:

diff --git a/arch/Kconfig b/arch/Kconfig
index 1aa59063f1fd..18f518624e41 100644

Host compiler used to build GCC plugins. This can be $(HOSTCXX),
$(HOSTCC), or a null string if GCC plugin is unsupported.
