My command-line:

cd /path/to/linux.git

$ make V=1 -j4 HOSTCC=clang HOSTCXX=clang++ HOSTLD=ld.lld
HOSTAR=llvm-ar CC=clang LD=ld.lld AR=llvm-ar NM=llvm-nm
OBJCOPY=llvm-objcopy OBJDUMP=llvm-objdump OBJSIZE=llvm-size
READELF=llvm-readelf STRIP=llvm-strip LLVM_IAS=1 -C tools/perf
PYTHON=python3.10 install-bin

I use the -gnu-std-11 patchset plus some own:

$ git log --oneline v5.17-rc6.. | grep 'std=gnu11'
05d8e9b88918 tools: libtraceevent: Use -std=gnu11
ee44279e6b01 tools: libsubcmd: Use -std=gnu11
411fa2d6da5c tools: libapi: Use -std=gnu11
3f0092b7e1b9 tools: perf: Use -std=gnu11
0cf56ddf2b41 tools: libbpf: Use -std=gnu11
96a4222bdd4c Kbuild: use -std=gnu11 for KBUILD_USERCFLAGS
6a7cc105b238 Kbuild: move to -std=gnu11

If this matters...
