I get:

Makefile:597: arch/powerpc64/Makefile: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'arch/powerpc64/Makefile'. Stop.
make: *** [Makefile:712: include/config/auto.conf.cmd] Error 2

...changing it to ARCH=powerpc I get:

Assembler messages:
Fatal error: invalid listing option `3'
clang: error: assembler command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see
invocation)
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:283: scripts/mod/empty.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make: *** [Makefile:1199: prepare0] Error 2

This is on a Fedora 31 host.

I do not see these errors with gcc.

I feel like clang errors should be flagged / de-emphasized when the
same error does not appear on gcc.
