--- Comment #1 from Erhard F. (erhard_f@mailbox.org) ---
Reinvestigated with clang 15 on my PowerMac G5 11,2.

Got further on as kernel + modules are built now. But I get an error at the
linking stage:

 # LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 make
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  UPD     include/generated/utsversion.h
  CC      init/version-timestamp.o
  LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1

make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:34: vmlinux] Error 1

Toolchain used was llvm/clang/lld-15.0.3. Same kernel builds fine with
gcc-12.2, binutils-2.39.
