Sorry to mislead you, this project is only focused on building the
clang compiler as a completely independent package across as many arch
and OS as possible. (As well as trying to make Solaris and all friends
tier 1 supported)

That compiler *could* in theory be used to build userland or kernel
pieces, but that effort is external and outside what we are looking
at. IOW I'd welcome both kernel or userland bugs.

afaik the linux kernel has had some patches to make it more friendly
to building with clang, but I don't know the status of that. (I know
is off-topic for what your goals are, but may mean that clang has also
had some bug fixes for building kernel code)
