The GCC regression only affected i386 and has been fixed since GCC 12.2.
However, modern GCC versions still generate large stack frames on other
architectures (e.g., 3440 bytes for blake2b_compress_generic() on m68k
with GCC 15.1.0). Clang handles these functions efficiently and should
work fine with the default warning threshold.

Limit the frame size workaround to GCC only.

I tend to prefer

  ifdef CONFIG_CC_IS_GCC

when the symbol is bool since it is a little easier to understand.

It may be worth a comment about the warnings on other architectures to
help future travellers who may be tempted to remove this when the
fixed GCC version of that bug report becomes the minimum.

This conditional feels small enough that it does not need this marker
but I guess that is maintainer preference.
