Thank you for the report. This is caused by the implicit switch to the 
integrated assembler in commit f12b034afeb3 ("scripts/Makefile.clang: 
default to LLVM_IAS=1").

Prior to LLVM 13, -Wa,-mimplicit-it=... was not properly handled by the 
integrated assembler but Nick fixed that:

As noted in the above Linux commit, please adjust arm clang-10 through 
clang-12 builds with TuxSuite to pass 'LLVM_IAS=0' to make, which you 
can do with the 'make_variables' key:

https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/continuous-integration2/blob/a998b85bf1d2ce4150005b225f4cde535fe12af5/tuxsuite/android-mainline.tux.yml#L207

Sorry for not giving you guys more of a heads up about that switch.

Cheers,
Nathan
