It's probably a good idea to add one.

Historically, gcc doesn't need one on x86, and always considers flags
clobbered. We are probably missing the cc clobber in a *lot* of places
for this reason.

But even if not necessary, it's probably a good thing to add for
documentation, and in case gcc semantcs ever change.
