build: fix prefix for Clang when CROSS_COMPILE is an absolute path

Clang cross-compilation worked when cross binutils were available
in PATH. However, when binutils are not in the PATH clang failed to
discover the assembler, falling back to host one.

Make --prefix always absolute, Clang supports this and will search for
e.g. $(prefix)-as for assembler. This makes sure user does not have to
add cross binutils to PATH for Clang build.

Fixes build for these examples (with qemu_arm(64)_defconfig):

make CC=clang-21 CROSS_COMPILE=/.../bin/arm-none-eabi-
make CC=clang-20 CROSS_COMPILE=/.../bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-

Also validated for the case when provided with cross toolchain on PATH:

PATH=/.../bin:$PATH make CC=clang-21 CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-eabi- -j20

This patch does not affect GCC builds, and they have _not_ been
validated against regressions.
