This last stanza breaks clang builds. Suggested fix is:

@@ -18,7 +18,11 @@ ccflags-y += -nostdlib -Wl,-soname=linux-vdso.so.1 \

  # Force -O2 to avoid libgcc dependencies
  CFLAGS_REMOVE_vgettimeofday.o = -pg -Os
+ifeq ($(cc-name),clang)
+CFLAGS_vgettimeofday.o = -O2
+else
  CFLAGS_vgettimeofday.o = -O2 -mcmodel=tiny
+endif

  # Disable gcov profiling for VDSO code
  GCOV_PROFILE := n

Holding off respin or followup patch until after we get a response from 
Jon Masters <jcm@readhat.com> on their QE tests on this patch series.
