This is expected with the series to fix #785 because ld.lld does not support OUTPUT_FORMAT in a triple format, which is how the VDSO handles the flip between big and little endian:

So, we could in theory work around this in the kernel's Makefile by messing with the emulation value (-m); however, I do not think that is proper.

However, as it stands now, just adding support the triple version of OUTPUT_FORMAT might not currently work as #30 seems to indicate that -m has higher priority for ld.lld. This would not necessarily be an issue for the default VDSO targets since the kernel wide emulation target matches the OUTPUT_FORMAT value. It would be a problem for CONFIG_MIPS32_O32 and CONFIG_MIPS32_N32, which are the other options that the other OUTPUT_FORMAT directives deal with.

I can file a bug upstream to ask for clarification on this and what needs to be done to support this with ld.lld. For now, to unlock CI,I will push a patch to move big endian MIPS to ld.bfd.

travis: Move MIPS big endian to ld.bfd on -next for now
9052b5e 
The series to fix ClangBuiltLinux/linux#785
exposed an issue with ld.lld, which breaks the build.

Move this target to ld.bfd while we discuss how to fix it so that this
target is not blocked for testing.

cc @MaskRay know anything about this target triple (elf32-tradlittlemips) if that's something LLD could support?

I have updated the title of this to reflect that this does not just affect MIPS: #1288 (comment)

Do we want to cherry pick this to 12.x branch?

LG for release/12.x if it caused problems. The change is pretty safe.

Choose big if -EB is specified, little if -EL is specified, or default if neither is specified.
The new behavior matches GNU ld.
