Hi Masahiro,

As Fangrui pointed out, there are two outstanding issues with x32 with
LLVM=1, both seemingly related to LLVM=1.

https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/514
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1141

Additionally, there appears to be one from Arnd as well but that one has
received no triage yet.

https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1205

I intend to test this patch as well as a few others at some point in the
coming week although I am having to play sysadmin due to moving servers
so I might not be able to get to it until later in the week.

Cheers,
Nathan
