Description:

Hi, while building the Linux kernel tools on ArchLinux with Clang, I've noticed there are Clang bugs when detecting the sysroot and parsing the triplet. I've created review on the LLVM phabricator to fix these bugs and would like to have the patch added to the PKGBUILD once it gets accepted upstream so I can cleanup the kernel build tree as well. Any feedback from the ArchLinux clang maintainers is welcome, thanks!

Additional info:
* Affects 14.0.6 and later

Steps to reproduce:
Run `make ARCH=arm64 CC=clang CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- bpf`

According to the LLVM maintainers [1] the sysroot auto-detection code in Clang is wrong by design and should not be used (it will be removed in the future).

Instead, each distribution will need to add a configuration file via a mechanism which has landed in LLVM mainline to specify distro-specific configurations like sysroot locations [2].

Once ArchLinux llvm/clang is updated to include commit [2]. Can you please add a config file to specify sysroots like the `/usr/aarch64-linux-gnu` location? Thank you!
