This should also go to Linus. This failure is in the mainline also.

Sure. I run arm, arm64, powerpc and x86_64 allmodconfigs with clang
(along with gcc) every night for mainline, started with linux-next
from today. Trying to setup the mips build also, I will mail llvm list
asking for help with the mips build.
Currently I only monitor the clang output from x86_64 as thats the one
which builds. If you want I can send the other reports also.
