Sorry for the delay in replying, and thank you for your
contributions.  The PR to enable i386 Clang builds looks fine,
I'm doing a couple of builds to verify it's working as expected
with the current Clang Docker containers and the default build
options.  I'll put a comment on the PR.

There was a small issue with how the PR was created, the origin
repo appeared to be "unknown" rather than your fork.  Then the PR
got closed by accident when renaming the "master" branch
to "main", I think it's because of the unknown repository.  In
any case, thanks for reporting the issue as the code wasn't easy
to use.  I've now refactored it with a simpler implementation
using methods in the LAVA class:

  https://github.com/kernelci/kernelci-core/pull/590


On a different topic, have you considered sending test results
from a Fujitsu test lab?  You could set up a LAVA instance to
have tests scheduled on your platforms by kernelci.org, or if you
have an existing automated test system for the upstream kernel
you may send the results directly to KCIDB (or do both).

Best regards,
Guillaume
