When cross compiling x86 on an ARM machine with clang, there are several
errors along the lines of:
arch/x86/include/asm/string_64.h:27:10: error: invalid output constraint '=&c' in asm
This happens because the compressed boot Makefile reassigns KBUILD_CFLAGS
and drops the clang flags that set the target architecture ('--target=')
and the path to the GNU cross tools ('--prefix='), meaning that the host
architecture is targeted.
These flags are available as $(CLANG_FLAGS) from the main Makefile so
add them to the compressed boot folder's KBUILD_CFLAGS so that cross
compiling works as expected.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
