So what's the way forward here? Ignore this warning for now and wait for the clang team to fix it or find a workaround?

The best workaround I can come up with is setting the match_flags parameter directly as macro argument, which would be a bit more verbose and feel slightly less clean, but would do the trick. Also note that any changes to those macros would have to be synchronized with a couple of patches which are still out to non-pdx86 trees, so if we're working around this it's best to do this as soon as possible. Specifically talking to Hans here, as those patches all have a dependency on stuff that's only in the pdx86 tree right now. I.e. getting the workaround in before setting up a tag for those dependencies would simplify things.
