Hi Ingo, looks this problem is clang + mips specific, and it can be traced back to
early days like [1] [2] on different commits/files

>> lib/usercopy_kunit.c:205:2: error: unexpected token, expected comma

I add llvm mailing list to consult for this behavior, and it's possible the bot
environment is not correctly setup for this case.

BTW: the reproduce step should be below after saving the config (the steps in report is not correct)

$ mkdir build_dir && cp config build_dir/.config
$ COMPILER_INSTALL_PATH=~/temp/cross-compiler COMPILER=clang-20 ~/temp/lkp-tests/kbuild/make.cross W=1 O=build_dir ARCH=mips olddefconfig
$ COMPILER_INSTALL_PATH=~/temp/cross-compiler COMPILER=clang-20 ~/temp/lkp-tests/kbuild/make.cross W=1 O=build_dir ARCH=mips SHELL=/bin/bash drivers/ fs/ kernel/
