Hi Arnd,
One comment here:

I understand there's some progress having Clang compile the kernel.
Clang treats __ILP32__ and friends differently than GCC. I believe
ILP32 shows up just about everywhere there are 32-bit ints, longs and
pointers. You might find it on Aarch64 or you might find it on MIPS64
when using Clang.
I think that means this may be a little suspicious:

I kind of felt LLVM was wandering away from the x32 ABI, but the LLVM
devs insisted they were within their purview. Also see
https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2015-December/046300.html.
Sorry about the top-post. I just wanted to pick out that one piece.
