➜ ~ (master) ✔ clang -dM -E - < /dev/null | grep -e __clang_m -e __clang_p
#define __clang_major__ 11
#define __clang_minor__ 0
#define __clang_patchlevel__ 0

I'm compiling the kernel itself with GCC.

Here's an example BPF script that fails on me:

struct sgx_enclave_add_pages {
unsigned long src;
unsigned long offset;
unsigned long length;
unsigned long secinfo;
unsigned long flags;
unsigned long count;
};

kprobe:sgx_ioctl
{
if (arg1 == 0xc030a401) {
printf("sgx_ioctl: %d, %lu\n", pid, ((struct sgx_enclave_add_pages *)(arg2))->offset);
}

}
Note that it relies on code not yet in the mainline.

If I don't declare structs, things work just fine. E.g. the following
works:

kprobe:sgx_encl_get_backing
{
printf("%s\n", func)
}

BTW, I don't really understand how scripts/clang-version.sh is even
supposed to work, if you compile the kernel itself with GCC. In that
case there would be no output, right? And thus version gets set to
zero...
