Go ahead, and please let me know if there is any container image for Altlinux, as I test with clang on all the distros I have container images for, and this hasn't appeared on my radar, i.e. clang + strlcpy warnings :-)
ALT Linux container micro how-to:
Docker: https://en.altlinux.org/Docker Quick start: # docker run -it alt:sisyphus [root@28fd15798968 /]# apt-get update [root@28fd15798968 /]# apt-get install clang rpm-build
It will install clang-7.0.
systemd-nspawn: Images are at http://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/images/Sisyphus/cloud/ Quick start: # machinectl pull-tar --verify=no http://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/images/Sisyphus/cloud/alt... alttest # systemd-nspawn -M alttest [root@alttest ~]# apt-get update [root@alttest ~]# apt-get install clang rpm-build
There is also LXD support: https://en.altlinux.org/LXD
ps. If you going to use binary clang from http://releases.llvm.org/download.html#9.0.0 I would recommend version clang+llvm-9.0.0-x86_64-linux-gnu-ubuntu-14.04.tar.xz and `ln -snf x86_64-alt-linux /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux` to workaround `cannot find -lgcc` error.

- It seems that people putting strlcpy() into the tools was already aware of
the problems it causes and tried to solve them. Probably, that's why they put `__weak` attribute on it (so it would be linkable in the presence of another strlcpy). Then `#ifndef __UCLIBC__`ed and later `#if defined(__GLIBC__) && !defined(__UCLIBC__)` its declaration. But, solution was incomplete and could be improved to make kernel buildable on more systems (where libc contains strlcpy).
There is not need to make `redundant redeclaration` warning an error in this case.
- `#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored` trick is already used multiple times
in the kernel:
$ git grep '#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored' arch/arm/lib/xor-neon.c:#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wunused-variable" tools/build/feature/test-gtk2-infobar.c:#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wstrict-prototypes" tools/build/feature/test-gtk2.c:#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wstrict-prototypes" tools/include/linux/string.h:#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wredundant-decls" tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c:#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wformat-nonliteral" tools/perf/ui/gtk/gtk.h:#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wstrict-prototypes" tools/testing/selftests/kvm/lib/assert.c:#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wunused-result" tools/usb/ffs-test.c:#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wdeprecated-declarations"
So the solution does not seem alien in the kernel and should be acceptable.
(I also send this to another of your emails in case I used wrong one before.)
Thanks,

Disable `redundant-decls' error for strlcpy declaration and solve build error allowing users to compile vanilla kernels.
When glibc have strlcpy (such as in ALT linux since 2004) objtool and perf build fails with something like:
In file included from exec-cmd.c:3: tools/include/linux/string.h:20:15: error: redundant redeclaration of ‘strlcpy’ [-Werror=redundant-decls] 20 | extern size_t strlcpy(char *dest, const char *src, size_t size); | ^~~~~~~
It's very hard to produce a perfect fix for that since it is a header file indirectly pulled from many sources from different Makefile builds.
