  Couple of warnings will block build when warnings been treated as errors.
Clang version 8.0 was used.

Warning messages during build:
../lib/librte_bpf/bpf_jit_arm64.c:1438:26: warning: incompatible pointer
types passing 'uint32_t *' (aka 'unsigned int *') to parameter of type
'char *' [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
        __builtin___clear_cache(ctx.ins, ctx.ins + ctx.idx);
                                ^~~~~~~
../lib/librte_bpf/bpf_jit_arm64.c:1438:35: warning: incompatible pointer

        __builtin___clear_cache(ctx.ins, ctx.ins + ctx.idx);
                                         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No need to CC stable as this has been added in this release.

Is clang prototype for __builtin___clear_cache() different? If so,
update the git commit for the reason for the failure.

in gcc[1], it is void *.
[1]
void __builtin___clear_cache (void *begin, void *end)
