Comment (by mfox):

 @erikd Did you get a chance to try my build? I would like to know if it
 works or not on which hardware and Linux version. I built under Ubuntu
 14.04 with a mildly patched 4.2 kernel using llvm-3.5 from ubuntu so
 expect it to work maybe on more recent distros only. My hardware is
 thunderX on armcloud but I expect every armv8 chip is compatible.
