There was a problem hiding this comment.
The tests' failure cannot be triggered by this patch, I am confident. Have looked for instructions by Debian about conventions on how to specify the other compiler (other than setting CC, RM and RANLIB on the command line) but have not found anything. It seems like indeed it is the command line, like
export CXX=clang++
export LD=lld
export AR=llvm-ar
export NM=llvm-nm
export OBJDUMP=llvm-objdump
and if that is confirmed then a script may be more appropriate than a change to the Makefile.
Edit: I only now get the pointer to the Linux kernel. I was focused on Debian. My bad.
