The things built with USER_CFLAGS don't seem to recognise it as a
compiler option, and print a warning:
clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-mno-global-merge' [-Wunused-command-line-argument]
Fixes: 744814d2fa ("um: Allow builds with Clang")

This warning shows up after merging:

I'm not 100% sure why this is necessary, but it does seem to work. All
the attempts to get rid of -mno-global-merge entirely have been met with
skepticism, but I'm guessing that it's not a problem for just the UML
"user" files, as they shouldn't(?) interact too much with modules.
