This is going to cause flag duplication, which would be nice to avoid. I 
do not know if we can get away with just adding $(CLANG_FLAGS) to 
KBUILD_CPPFLAGS instead of KBUILD_CFLAGS though. It seems like this 
assignment might be better in arch/powerpc/Makefile with the 
KBUILD_CPPFLAGS additions there.

Cheers,
