kbuild: Fix CC_CAN_LINK detection

Most samples cannot be build on some environments because they depend
on CC_CAN_LINK, which is set according to the result of
scripts/cc-can-link.sh called by cc_can_link_user.

Because cc-can-link.sh must now build without warning, it may fail
because it is calling printf() with an empty string:

  + cat
  + gcc -m32 -Werror -Wl,--fatal-warnings -x c - -o /dev/null
  <stdin>: In function ‘main’:
  <stdin>:4:9: error: zero-length gnu_printf format string [-Werror=format-zero-length]
  cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Fix this warning and the samples build by actually printing something.
