While attempting to package libuv 1.52.0, I discovered via rpminspect
that a change[1] made since 1.51.0 has introduced some assembly that
leaves GCC unable to determine whether the resulting binaries are
BTI-safe. I am not sure of the best way to approach this. I'm pretty
sure that this specific usage is fine, but I don't particularly want
to use `-Wl,-z,force-bti` because that could end up hiding a truly
unsafe change later on.

I am not well enough versed in low-level compiler knowledge to figure
out what the alternative would be, though. I don't want to just revert
the upstream patch, because I'm led to believe that this will have a
negative impact on a significant percentage of ARM hardware.

I would very much appreciate some help figuring this one out.
