This looks like a similar problem as the one fixed by
commit 1b71c2fb04e7 ("kbuild: userprogs: fix bitsize and target
detection on clang"), should it be addressed in the same manner
(especially since I think the Fixes commit would be the same)? Given
that the filter expression is the same, maybe it would be possible to
unify them but that could happen as a follow up.
