Based on a patch of Behan Webster (see [1]). CLANG (here: v3.7) requires '-Oz' as OptLevel to be set. A Linux v4.3-rc1 kernel built fine with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y and boots on bare metal. This is a Ubuntu/precise AMD64 system. Tested against Linux v4.3-rc1 and a refreshed llvmlinux patchset.
