Consider this patch as a separate thing instead of getting stuck on
the recent build failure.

The current state is that clang builds IGT fine. The discussion would
be different if it didn't. I use clang myself occasionally, although
indirectly, through clang-analyze. It works, there's non-zero value in
keeping it working, and as just a build-test for clang this doesn't
eat that much gitlab-ci-time.

someone else (Arek?)
