Depending on the hardware (development boards tend to be very sensitive and
the kernel very raw), things that you take for granted are not that simple.

For example, ccache raised some I/O problems on some ARM dev boards, and
since we're always dealing with fresh hardware (sometimes pre-release), a
multitude of things will fail even before you get to LLVM.

Yes, this does make a big difference. Keep the assertions, leave the debug
symbols out. I believe this is the default CMake build type, but not the
configure one, so be careful.

Also, I got different failures with CMake and configure, so try both.
Again, development kernels/hardware, so not worthy reporting to the list
just yet.
