Yes, this needs a workaround (see attachment).

As a base I took kbuid.git#for-next on top of Linux v4.20...

$ git log --oneline -2
58609f06cfb6 (HEAD -> 4.20.0-2-amd64-cbl) x86: Workaround clang does
not support asm-goto
68af7c873957 (for-4.20/kbuild-next-20190103) kbuild: remove
unnecessary stubs for archheader and archscripts

...and includes:

f44251005047 jump_label: move 'asm goto' support test to Kconfig

My compiler is clang-7 from Debian/testing.

$ git log --oneline -2
58609f06cfb6 (HEAD -> 4.20.0-2-amd64-cbl) x86: Workaround clang does
not support asm-goto
68af7c873957 (for-4.20/kbuild-next-20190103) kbuild: remove
unnecessary stubs for archheader and archscripts

It's compile-tested only on Debian/testing AMD64.

I cannot boot into bare metal.

This might have other root causes.

P.S.: Additional informations

Booting in QEMU 3.1 shows...

$ ./run_qemu.sh
Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... ok


XZ-compressed data is corrupt

 -- System haltedqemu-system-x86_64: terminating on signal 2

$ cat run_qemu.sh
KPATH=$(pwd)

qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -M pc -kernel $KPATH/bzImage -initrd
$KPATH/initrd.img -m 512 -net none -serial stdio -append
"root=/dev/ram0 console=ttyS0 hung_task_panic=1
earlyprintk=ttyS0,115200"

NOTE: I can boot a Linux v4.20 kernel with this QEMU version.
