+
+To fix the failure, we need to append option `-mno-outline-atomics` in Clang
+command to not generate local calls to out-of-line atomic operations:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ make HOSTCC=clang xenguest_arm64_defconfig
+ make HOSTCC=clang CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- \
+ CC="clang -target aarch64-linux-gnueabi -mno-outline-atomics" -j8
