I've reported this upstream with you on CC:

https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50838

Christoph, that toolchain should work (I had to install libtinfo5 and
libc++1-7 on Debian Buster):

$ export PATH=$HOME/tmp/clang+llvm-12.0.0-cross-hexagon-unknown-linux-musl/x86_64-linux-gnu/bin:$PATH

$ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=hexagon CROSS_COMPILE=hexagon-unknown-linux-musl LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 defconfig all

CROSS_COMPILE is really only used to set the '--target=' flag when
LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 are used, it can even be just 'hexagon-linux'.

As Arnd points out, https://apt.llvm.org is also an option, that is what
we use in our continuous integration:
