The tool has a dependency on a python library for parsing ELF; I've
been having to teach it about various relocation types for non-x86_64
architectures; I'm sure the failure from that scenario is...gnarly.  I
don't know if my latest aarch64 fixes have been deployed (and it
depends on how the library is distributed).

Hmm...no warnings for me with that config on next-20201208:
$ make LLVM=1 -j71 olddefconfig
$ make LLVM=1 -j71
...
$ clang --version
clang version 12.0.0 (git@xxxxxxxxxx:llvm/llvm-project.git
1c98f984105e552daa83ed8e92c61fba0e401410)
(ie. near ToT LLVM)

I see CONFIG_KASAN=y in the .config, so that's a recurring theme with
clang; excessive stack usage.  It does seem a shame to disable a
driver for a bunch of archs just due to KASAN stack usage.
$ grep KASAN=y 0x9077925C_defconfig
CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_KASAN=y
CONFIG_KASAN=y

Is there a different branch of a different tree that I should be
testing on instead? Otherwise, can you send the object file?
