Clang does not support this option and errors out: clang-11: error: unknown argument: '-mexplicit-relocs' Clang does not appear to need this flag like GCC does because the jalr check that was added in commit976c23af3e("mips: vdso: add build time check that no 'jalr t9' calls left") passes just fine with $ make ARCH=mips CC=clang CROSS_COMPILE=mipsel-linux-gnu- malta_defconfig arch/mips/vdso/ even before commitd3f703c435("mips: vdso: fix 'jalr t9' crash in vdso code"). -mrelax-pic-calls has been supported since clang 9, which is the earliest version that could build a working MIPS kernel, and it is the default for clang so just leave it be.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
