See [the post on xen-devel](https://lore.kernel.org/xen-devel/[email protected]/)
The Xen x86 emulator tests use inline assembly instructions `frstors`, `fsaves`, and `vpcmpestriq`.
However clang 21.1.8's built-in assembler does not support these.
A workaround is to add `-no-integrated-as` to use an external assembler, which does accept these mnemonics.
Here is a small test program extracted from the original failure:
```
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main() {
unsigned int res[0x200];
const uint16_t five = 5;
asm volatile("frstors %0" ::"m"(res[25]) : "memory");
asm volatile("fninit\n\t"
"fld1\n\t"
"fidivs %1\n\t"
"fsaves %0"
: "=m"(res[25])
: "m"(five)
: "memory");
asm volatile("movq %0, %%xmm2\n"
#ifdef __x86_64__
"vpcmpestriq $0b01111010, (%1), %%xmm2"
#else
"vpcmpestri $0b01111010, (%1), %%xmm2"
#endif
::"m"(res[0]),
"S"(NULL));
}
```
```
