Hi All,

The latest mainline kernel branch fails to build for arm64 allmodconfig
with clang. The errors are:

For both, git bisect points to 0af5cb349a2c ("Merge tag 'kbuild-v5.20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild")

The last good build for arm64 clang was with e394ff83bbca ("Merge tag 'nfsd-6.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux")

I will be happy to test any patch or provide any extra log if needed.
