yea, looks like we can't compile perl devel includes with clang,
we use simple perl test program:

	$ cd tools/build/feature/
	$ cat test-libperl.c 
	// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0
	#include <EXTERN.h>
	#include <perl.h>

	int main(void)
	{
		perl_alloc();

		return 0;
	}


and if I compile it with:

	$ CC=clang make test-libperl.bin
	clang  -MD -Wall -Werror -o test-libperl.bin test-libperl.c  > test-libperl.make.output 2>&1 `perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccopts 2>/dev/null` -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,now -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-ld -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-annobin-cc1  -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,now -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-ld -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-annobin-cc1  -fstack-protector-strong -L/usr/local/lib  -L/usr/lib64/perl5/CORE -lperl -lpthread -lresolv -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc
	make: *** [Makefile:224: test-libperl.bin] Error 1


I'm getting some other lto related error:

	$ cat test-libperl.make.output 
	clang-13: error: optimization flag '-ffat-lto-objects' is not supported [-Werror,-Wignored-optimization-argument]


with my clang version:

	$ clang --version
	clang version 13.0.0 (Fedora 13.0.0-3.fc35)
	Target: x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu
	Thread model: posix
	InstalledDir: /usr/bin

so you need to figure out how to compile the test program
above first with clang
