That would account for what I'm seeing too and I know I've compiled
nvidia-driver with clang. Except in my case it's Xfce4 and no panics,
but completely unusable (fonts were too large, offsets calculated
wrongly, terminal emulation was like opening something in vi with
TERM=dumb, mouse movement shocked, machine under constant load).
