LLVM Clang Should Be Able To Build Linux 5.9 x86 32-bit Kernels.With LLVM Clang 9 and Linux 5.3 the mainline kernel can be built (https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=clang-linux-53&num=1) following a years-long effort to be able to build the mainline Linux x86_64 kernel with Clang rather than GCC, which followed the AArch64 efforts in a similar achievement. Now with Linux 5.9 coming later this year, the i386 / 32-bit x86 mainline kernel will also now be capable of building under Clang.
