Currently kernel builds fine with LLVM/clang on these archs: armv7hl https://abf.openmandriva.org/build_lists/611357 x86_64 https://abf.openmandriva.org/build_lists/610526 znver1 https://abf.openmandriva.org/build_lists/610531
aarch64 is hit by this bug https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/697 i686 is hit by this bug https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/3 riscv64 currently broken by glibc All these were compiled with ld.bfd as ld.lld have some bugs. I'm running x86_64 compiled kernel on two different laptops, and it looks like it boots and works. wt., 24 wrz 2019 o 08:35 Tomasz Gajc <[email protected]> napisaĆ(a): > Hi, > > I've spent some time to get our kernel compiled with LLVM/clang-9.0.0 > > It's not tested at all.
