I think it might be best to just filter out the include paths from
XEN_CFLAGS, iow:

CFLAGS_x86_32 += $(filter -I%,$(XEN_CFLAGS))

Instead of having to open-code the paths for the include search paths
here again.  Using the filter leads to the following CC command line:

clang -MMD -MP -MF arch/x86/boot/.cmdline.o.d -m32 -march=i686 -DBUILD_ID -fno-strict-aliasing -std=gnu99 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-unused-but-set-variable -Wno-unused-local-typedefs   -fno-pie -fno-stack-protector -fno-exceptions -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -Werror -fno-builtin -g0 -msoft-float -mregparm=3 -I./include -I./arch/x86/include -I./arch/x86/include/generated -I./arch/x86/include/asm/mach-generic -I./arch/x86/include/asm/mach-default -fpic '-D__OBJECT_LABEL__=arch/x86/boot/cmdline.o'    -c arch/x86/boot/cmdline.c -o arch/x86/boot/.cmdline.o.tmp -MQ arch/x86/boot/cmdline.o

Thanks, Roger.
