We're still seeing failures with all clang builds failing to understand
the executable format of /init in big endian arm64 builds; GCC builds of
the same configuration boot successfully.  This has been going on for
about as long as we've been trying to boot clang builds AFAICT, it's a
huge proportion of the failures we're seeing in -next.

I did notice one similar failure for v7 GCC today:

which is also happening for other trees so that one at least looks
suspiciously like infrastructure.
