It would be potentially noisy as it is currently written since someone
building with GCC for arm64 or x86_64 could merge hardening.config into
their configuration and they would see CONFIG_CFI_CLANG get enabled by
merge_config.sh but on oldconfig or olddefconfig, it would get flipped
off again because the toolchain dependencies are not met. Might as well
make it architecture agnostic at that point :)

Cheers,
Nathan
