Currently, CONFIG_PPC64_BIG_ENDIAN_ELF_ABI_V2 is not selectable with ld.lld because of an explicit dependency on GNU ld, due to lack of testing with LLVM.
Erhard was kind enough to test this option on his hardware with LLVM 15, which ran without any issues. This should not be too surprising, as ld.lld does not have support for the ELFv1 ABI, only ELFv2, so it should have decent support. With this series, big endian kernels can be built with LLVM=1.
This has seen our basic set of powerpc configurations with clang-15, clang-16, and clang-17 but I will never be opposed to more testing :)
The first two patches fix a couple of issues I noticed while build testing and the final patch actually allows the option to be selected.
--- Nathan Chancellor (3): powerpc/boot: Only use '-mabi=elfv2' with CONFIG_PPC64_BOOT_WRAPPER powerpc: Fix use of '-mabi=elfv2' with clang powerpc: Allow CONFIG_PPC64_BIG_ENDIAN_ELF_ABI_V2 with ld.lld 15+
