I was curious if this resulted in an observable improvement. N=1

Mainline:
$ /usr/bin/time -v make ARCH=arm64 LLVM=1 -j128 -s
Elapsed (wall clock) time (h:mm:ss or m:ss): 2:15.68


With this series:
$ /usr/bin/time -v make ARCH=arm64 LLVM=1 -j128 -s
Elapsed (wall clock) time (h:mm:ss or m:ss): 2:12.22

I'll take it!
