Peter's advice is good (-mfpu and -mfloat-abi aren't needed). But also
note that "-target armv8" actually targets 32-bit ARM (v8 CPUs usually
support both modes).

You probably want to specify a full triple for the target, maybe
"-target aarch64-linux-gnu", otherwise the OS part might default to
Windows since that's where you're running. Clang doesnn't support
Windows on AArch64.

Cheers.

Tim.
