 I just realized that a very useful reply to this PR was sent directly
 only to me and nobody else... so copy/pasting the relevant text here.
 Omitting the author's name because, well, the email was private (and
 with some manual edits):

 Regarding the .cfi problems on ppc64, you can either
 
 1) Use 'clang -integrated-as' which tells clang to use its own
    integrated asm to assemble sources.
 
 2) Use 'clang -fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm' to tell clang to not use .cfi directives.
    For some reason those are not implemented in ppc64 binutils.
 
 -integrated-as on PPC64 can assemble world/kernel.
