It doesn't understand -fno-reorder-blocks. Whether without that option
the resulting binary is actually functional I can't tell, though.

For $(cc-option ...) to be usable in arch.mk, at least CC needs setting
earlier in Config.mk. Move up the entire "Set tools" section.

Observed with Clang7, but then checked option (un)availability with
godbolt.org.

With Clang5 there's further breakage, due to apparently deliberate de-
referencing of NULL in lib/xmalloc.c (poor man's BUG(), as it looks).
The compiler's -Wnull-dereference causes a warning to be issued there,
converted to an error by -Werror. Question is whether building with
Clang5 is supposed to work.
