Looks like a corner-case bug with LLVM. I think on a Linux system with HOST GCC
the header guard "#ifndef _ASM_BYTEORDER_H" prevents
arch/mips/include/asm/byteorder.h from being pre-processed by the host
compiler. Maybe with LLVM _ASM_BYTEORDER_H is never defined by not having
another byteorder.h in the include chain.
