This patch series addresses two main issues:
1. Some errors when using clang for aarch64 build
2. Unability to use clang for cross-compilation
While first problem has straightforward fix: add -march argument and
allow to use FP registers for vfg.c, second one is much trickier. I am
aware of the earlier attempts (like [1]), so I decided to use
different approach. Bscailly, I chose to use LLVM tooling as an
option. As LLVM tooling supports cross-compilation inherently, we
don't need to use CROSS_COMPILE varialbe at all.
make XEN_TARGET_ARCH=arm64 clang=y llvm=y
Shoud work on all host platforms, although I tested this only on x86.
