FWIW, this could ultimately simplify to

    make LLVM=1 "$@"

as LLVM=1 is the shorthand for

    make CC=clang LD=ld.lld AR=llvm-ar NM=llvm-nm STRIP=llvm-strip \
         OBJCOPY=llvm-objcopy OBJDUMP=llvm-objdump READELF=llvm-readelf \
         HOSTCC=clang HOSTCXX=clang++ HOSTAR=llvm-ar HOSTLD=ld.lld

as noted in Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst /
https://docs.kernel.org/kbuild/llvm.html.
