The Hexagon-specific constant extender optimization in LLVM may crash on
Linux kernel code [1] (such as with a bcachefs change in -next):

  clang: llvm/lib/Target/Hexagon/HexagonConstExtenders.cpp:745: bool (anonymous namespace)::HexagonConstExtenders::ExtRoot::operator<(const HCE::ExtRoot &) const: Assertion `ThisB->getParent() == OtherB->getParent()' failed.
  Stack dump:
  0.      Program arguments: clang --target=hexagon-linux-musl ... fs/bcachefs/btree_io.c
  1.      <eof> parser at end of file
  2.      Code generation
  3.      Running pass 'Function Pass Manager' on module 'fs/bcachefs/btree_io.c'.
  4.      Running pass 'Hexagon constant-extender optimization' on function '@__btree_node_lock_nopath'

Without assertions enabled, there is just a hang during compilation.

This has been resolved in LLVM main (20.0.0) [2] and backported to LLVM
19.1.0 but the kernel supports LLVM 13.0.1 and newer, so disable the
constant expander optimization using the '-mllvm' option when using a
toolchain that is not fixed.
