Hi Nick,=20

Thanks for your interest.=20
We didn't target and gather data about Clang, but it was only a technical =
limitation at that time.=20
Right now, it seems possible to build kernel configurations with Clang (th=
anks to kernelci tool chain) and we are very interested to invest some reso=
urces/time here.=20

Indeed, we could differentiate GCC and Clang build and see what's going on=
.=20
We can also pinpoint combinations of options that lead to failures: it can=
 be useful to indicate the root cause of the issues and investigate whether=
 it's specific to Clang.=20

I'm available to have a chat
