Might need more info.  Do they boot when LLVM_IAS=0 is explicitly set
with your command line invocation of make? i.e. `make LLVM=1
LLVM_IAS=0 ...`?  Can you launch these kernels in qemu?

I think this combo should work; we are testing x86_64 with mainline
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/continuous-integration2/blob/95b9a12cad31675118d61c26d0b541fa4e3c8f09/generator.yml#L1694

Could be something in your .config files though.
