No trouble at all, really. I also saw this from Nathan the other day, which
may help you get up and running with clang:

20200520024736.GA854786@ubuntu-s3-xlarge-x86">https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200520024736.GA854786@ubuntu-s3-xlarge-x86

(but I haven't tried it myself, as I'm just using the Android binary)
