When build kernel with Clang [1]:
$ make CC=clang loongson3_defconfig
$ make CC=clang
there exists the following error:
Checking missing-syscalls for O32
CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh
error: ABI 'o32' is not supported on CPU 'mips64r2'
make[1]: *** [Kbuild:48: missing-syscalls] Error 1
make: *** [arch/mips/Makefile:419: archprepare] Error 2
This is a known bug [2] with Clang, as Simon Atanasyan said,
"There is no plan on support O32 for MIPS64 due to lack of
resources".
It is not a good idea to remove CONFIG_MIPS32_O32=y directly
in defconfig due to GCC works well, as Nathan said, the config
should not even be selectable when build kernel with Clang, so
just make MIPS32_O32 depends on !CC_IS_CLANG.

Sorry I did not catch this in the first revision but I think this would
sound better as:
When building with Clang [1]:
I think the kernel part is obvious :) couple more comments about the
commit message inline.

I don't know if Nick will have any comments but for me:
Acked-by: Nathan Chancellor <[email protected]>
I have added this patch and the LLVM bug to our issue tracker:
