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.
