I was able to reproduce this with the following:

$ git describe HEAD
next-20190904

$ clang --version
Android (5821526 based on r365631) clang version 9.0.6 (https://android.googlesource.com/toolchain/llvm-project 85305eaf1e90ff529d304abac8a979e1d967f0a2) (based on LLVM 9.0.6svn)
Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /home/andrewm/android-clang/clang-r365631/bin

$ make O=~/linux-build/ ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- CC=clang -j56 allyesconfig Image

(I was unable to reproduce with defconfig+OPTIMIZE_INLINING).

This hunk isn't needed, there is no BUILD_BUG here.

Alternatively is it possible to replace the BUILD_BUG's with something else?

I think because we use BUILD_BUG at the end of a switch statement, we make
the assumption that size is known at compile time, for this reason we should
ensure the function containing the BUILD_BUG is __always_inline.

Looking across the kernel where BUILD_BUG is used as a default in a switch
statment ($ git grep -B 3 BUILD_BUG\( | grep default), most instances are
within macros, but many are found in an __always_inline function:

arch/x86/kvm/cpuid.h
mm/kasan/generic.c

Though some are not:

include/linux/signal.h
arch/arm64/include/asm/arm_dsu/pmu.h

I wonder if there may be a latent mole ready to whack with pmu.h?

Anyway with just the three remaining hunks:
