[PATCH 2/9] powerpc/64s: Disable pcrel code model on Clang

Clang has a bug that casues the pcrel code model not to be used when any of
-msoft-float, -mno-altivec, or -mno-vsx are set. Leaving these off causes
FP/vector instructions to be generated, causing crashes. So disable pcrel
for clang for now.
