We had compiled all our previously submitted driver patches against clang v3.8 on  RH7.1 and didn't see a similar error. The '-Wno-shift-negative-value' option got introduced after 3.6.0 release.  Pls. let us know if we need to support a minimum version of clang. 
        "clang version 3.8.0 (trunk 249596) (llvm/trunk 249595)"

For 32-bit, we are preparing our driver to compile against gcc version 4.3.4.

Similary, we had compile tested all our previously submitted driver patches on FreeBSD using:
        FreeBSD clang version 3.6.1 and
        gcc version 4.8.5

Thanks!
