.skip is only used by x86 code, so place the clang .skip with labels
check in x86/Rules.mk instead of the top level Rules.mk. While there
also fix an issue with it by removing the '\n' which triggers the
following error:

<stdin>:1:31: error: missing terminating '"' character [-Werror,-Winvalid-pp-token]
void _(void) { asm volatile ( ".L0:
                              ^
<stdin>:1:31: error: expected string literal in 'asm'
<stdin>:3:18: error: missing terminating '"' character [-Werror,-Winvalid-pp-token]
.skip (.L1 - .L0)" ); }
                 ^
<stdin>:3:24: error: expected ')'
.skip (.L1 - .L0)" ); }
                       ^
<stdin>:1:29: note: to match this '('
void _(void) { asm volatile ( ".L0:
                            ^
<stdin>:3:24: error: expected '}'
.skip (.L1 - .L0)" ); }
                       ^
<stdin>:1:14: note: to match this '{'
void _(void) { asm volatile ( ".L0:
             ^
5 errors generated.

As said on the other thread - I'm afraid there's more to this difference
in un-escaping between your and my environments. I agree the newlines
aren't needed here at all, so I'd be fine to give my R-b, but we need to
fully understand the differences in observed behavior anyway.

Additionally I wonder whether you wouldn't better retain the original
sequence of checks, by placing the check you move at the beginning of
the "ifeq ($(clang),y)" block in x86/Rules.mk instead of at the end.
That'll (iirc) also better represent the history of the addition of
these checks (also demonstrated by the reference bug numbers).
