I am confused by this error, what is your build command? The supported
uses of LLVM= are:

$ make LLVM=1

to use clang, ld.lld, etc.

$ make LLVM=-1

to use clang-1, ld.lld-1, etc.

$ make LLVM=/path/to/

to use /path/to/clang, /path/to/ld.lld, etc.

I do not really understand how based on the current logic you are ending
up with clang1.

$ make -skj"$(nproc)" LLVM=1 distclean defconfig all

works for me here:

$ git show -s --format='%h ("%s")'
478f74a3d808 ("Merge tag 'random-5.18-rc1-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random")

$ head -1 init/.main.o.cmd
cmd_init/main.o := clang -Wp,-MMD,init/.main.o.d ...

Please provide more information, as this change should not be necessary.

It could be GNU make related?

Normally, you do not add a "Reported-by" for a patch you send, just for
the future.
