Yes, I think this is the easiest solution for the time being.

However, thanks to your input about the in-kernel bytecode machine, a
long term solution would be:
- to patch support/scripts/check-bin-arch for in-kernel bytecode machine
- to add an optional dependency to elfutils and host-clang if
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBV4L_UTILS is enabled
- to patch llvm.mk to set LLVM_TARGET_ARCH to "host" if
BR2_PACKAGE_LLVM_TARGET_ARCH is empty. Without it, build fails on
"Unknown architecture".

I will work on the last two ones and send patches for your review.
Concerning the first one, I don't know how to fix it (yet). If this is
not easy, we could always fallback on disabling clang.
