(In reply to Mark Millard from comment #1)
Thanks, Mark. I looked through the LLVM ticket and didn't find anything
relevant to this issue on powerpc64 clang.

Seems to be hanging at branch to counter register (when I compared to the a=
sm
generated by GCC, that code had instead a branch to link register).

I even tried building the kernel modules with GCC where -mlongcall was need=
ed
and clang for everything else, though soft-float is a missing option in cla=
ng
that I'm not sure is necessary or not. I noticed building with altivec supp=
ort
kills the kernel load even sooner so maybe soft-float is a necessary switch
clang needs for powerpc64 to build a working kernel?
