configure: disable FORTIFY_SOURCE under clang

Some versions of clang may have difficulty compiling glibc headers when
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE is used. For example, Clang++ 3.5.0-9.fc22 cannot
compile glibc's stdio headers when -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 is used. This
manifests currently as build failures with clang and any arm target.

According to LLVM dev Richard Smith, clang does not target or support
FORTIFY_SOURCE + glibc, and it should not be relied on.
"It's still an unsupported combination, and while it might compile, some
of the checks are unlikely to work because they require a frontend
inliner to be useful"

See: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2015-November/045846.html

Conclusion: disable fortify-source if we appear to be using clang instead
of testing for compile success or failure, which may be incidental or not
indicative of proper support of the feature.
