Do you need this for native compilation?

so arm64 compilation does not need this?
If only -D__LINUX_ARM_ARCH__ is needed, maybe just
with
    CLANG_EXTRA_CFLAGS := -D__LINUX_ARM_ARCH__
Otherwise, people will wonder whether this is needed for
other architectures. Or just do
    CLANG_EXTRA_CFLAGS := $(D_OPTIONS)
for all cross compilation?
