[PATCH 7/9] perf build: Check the version of the compiler that is used

[Ian Rogers]

The flex and bison flags are adjusted for clang older than 13.0.0, which
doesn't grok -Wno-unused-but-set-variable. The test is reached because
CC_NO_CLANG says CC is clang, but the version comes from $(CLANG), which
defaults to plain "clang" and needn't be the compiler in use:

  $ make CC=clang-19 CLANG=clang-12
  version from $(CLANG) -> 12.0.0, flag stripped
  version from $(CC)    -> 19.1.7, flag kept

Dropping the flag lets the warnings it suppresses in the generated flex
and bison code through, and those are errors under -Werror.

Ask $(CC) instead, as that is what compiles the code.
