I also don't speak for either clang nor the Linux kernel, but merely for 
the LLVMLinux project team.

However, I am trying to promote change to both code bases such that the 
Linux kernel can be compiled with both gcc and clang. Indeed both myself 
and others in the project send patches upstream to both code bases.

__builtin_stack_pointer is an idea from a couple of us on the LLVMLinux 
project. Renato is merely helping us out connecting us to the right 
people to talk to.

Actually the proposal was more about making it easier to solve this 
particular problem in a way which might be acceptable to all parties.

I'm open to all suggestions.
